Now if MnDOT would reconstuct the 120/36 and Hadley/36 making grade seperations at both…Read More intersections THIS SUMMER they would be HEROS in my book!!
What does it take to make sound decisions and fix the entire highway when it's closed to traffic?
Obviously MNDOT doesn't read this.

Suprise commuters and travelers and truck traffic attempting to drive through the Twin Cities.…Read More
MnDOT was provided a gift by the feds to fix up I694 from I35W to Highway 100 to the west.
What that means is that an extimated 124,000 vehicles each and every day will be stuck in traffic. There is only one altenative to I694 if you are driving through the Twin Cities as so many trucks and travelers do, that would be I94.
Of course now that GT36 (as in Goat Trail) is closed those 40,000 or so vehicles from GT36 attempting to use I94 will be fighting with the 124,000 vehicles that are attempting to use I94.
It would be way too much to expect MnDOT to take into consideration travelers when planning highway shutdowns.
It's way too much to expect MnDOT to explain their actions on Patch.

Few of those statements can be considered very cold and hard, because so much of it is subjective,…Read More but I think it is fair to say that the thrust of the left, and Democrats in general are in keeping with the idea that blacks are "poor", and need "help" in the sense of material assistance. Republicans have generally supported a more "fatherly" policy, relying on people's work ethic and ability to accomplish rather than handouts. The former devolves into control because the fortunes of officials doling out aid depend on having lots of "customers". The latter devolves into indifference. These are the stereotypes of the Dems and GOP in this country, and I think there is some truth in both.

Democrats believe that poor people are poor. Republicans deny this fact. Republicans believe that…Read More poor people will have more to eat if we don't give them food stamps. Republicans believe that poor kids will get a better education if we cut funding for their schools. Republicans believe that more poor teens will go to college if we cut their financial aid. Speaking of stereotypes, "relying on people's work ethic and ability to accomplish" is "fatherly"? But mothers are out there teaching kids to rely on handouts? Also, what's with the parentheses around "poor"? Is that a disputed term? Are you saying that people who live below the poverty line are not poor? It's an objective fact that a higher percentage of black people live below the poverty line than whites.

And last, I'm sick of Republicans saying that "faceless bureaucrats" are making all these…Read More decisions. All bureaucrats do is carry out the laws. The stuff you're complaining about is in the law. If you want the laws changed, have a go at that. But leave the faceless bureaucrate out of it, because you're just creating a mythical villian to blame everything on. That will only distract from making true improvements to our government.
