"That being said, I did hear an interesting fact or two during the bridge coverage last night. 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. Wonder if that will get any further exposure in the aftermath of the collapse? And how many other states are doing the same thing?"
