One tidbit was that Minnesota has diverted quite a bit of highway maintenance dollars from its intended purpose in order to fund light rail boondoggles and such.

It's a brilliant strategy...and creates a closed loop echo chamber for more public transportation boondoggles.

Causing havoc and inconvenience on the highway feeds right into the wailing for more public transportation funding.

Milwaukee has been playing this same game for years now...screw up the highway system as much as possible...and pound the drums for "light rail".
