30. How long have we (patiently) waited for the Wakota?? Let's all meet in front of the Transportation Building with some nasty signage ... if chunks of the Transportation Bldg don't fall down first, killing us all.

What happened to the Minnesota Miracle? Did it move to Iowa?

Hey John. How about buying a paper? There's a map there.

A friend visited Toronto and extolled the virtues of their highway system.

They have 7 lanes wide with the inner 3 dedicated to through traffic and the outside dedicated to short hall traffic.

It's wonderfull and we are stuck with Peter Ding Dong Bell and the Met Council ramming the $2,000,000,000 Central Corridor down our throats.

The Met Council is some of the biggest bunch of crooks around.

I agree! Let's get one thing finished before another one is started! The 6-year project of the Wakota Bridge is now in it's 8th year, and no doubt going way 'over budget'. I don't understand why the DOT doesn't put all of it's workers on that bridge until it's done. How some things are handled in this state just amaze me!!!

"Brainpower State" Minnesota is NOT!

"State of Confusion" is a better title!
