NEW: The Blue Line Extension light rail project is now projected to cost over $3.5 BILLION.
Transportation Chair Koznick (R-Lakeville): "Before we make another bad decision, we need to look at the options."
The report also studied bus rapid transit, which could cost a little as $120 million.
Chair Koznick: "Hennepin County has to decide if they really want to go to their taxpayers and say 'Yes, we think spending $3.6 billion, a huge amount of money, is the way to go.'"
@dhe3g@choppaslide How about anyone or any team that thinks this kid belongs in the league? If you’re trying to limp through life with “Ja” as your first name? You’re fucked.
@drscottjensen Only reason you’re relevant is that you got booked on Fox News and some of the GOP delegates thought that made you a celebrity. Sit down and pipe down. You’re there with Royce White
@burackbobby_ The notion that Jemele Hill is a “thought leader” on politics and culture speaks volumes about those who take her seriously. Check out the prom videos or the chimp outs at graduation ceremonies. There is an us and a them. They’ve done it to themselves
@MoundsViewMayor 1 week that my wife sent this to MV city. Couple of garbage tires and cardboard that our “neighbors” didn’t want. The fuckin neighbors here are going to clean it up for you.
Bunch of middle aged white women chanting and doing shit by the script? Not scared of you in the least. Better up the dosage on the SSRI’s it’s bad man!
Hard to overstate the volume and energy of this crowd outside the House chamber, as supporters have been chanting and cheering for nearly 2 hours.
We are so proud to stand with these Minnesotans. All we’re asking for is a fair vote. Why is that something the GOP is so scared of?
Throughout our time in office, Senator Erin Maye Quade and I have been told to sit down, and shut up.
We’ve been told to stop asking questions. We’ve been told that we’re risking our “careers.” We’ve been told to leave unpopular policies– like affordable insulin and red flag laws–alone.
I’m proud to say we’ve never once listened. I’m proud to say we stand up for our communities because it’s not about us–it’s about doing what’s right.
From day one, I’ve stood up for working families, for kids in schools, for nurses, teachers, farmers, and even for the people I disagree with.
This campaign can’t be bought and sold. It’s for the people of the Second Congressional District. It’s about the mavericks, the underdogs, the rebels, and those that we’ve excluded for far too long.
If you think CD2 needs a fighter in Congress, I’m your guy.
Thank you to Senator Maye Quade for her dedication to the people of SD56!
@RealDemoSmash Mr. Darsow, I’m a lifelong Minnesotan and wrestling fan. I’m so happy that you and Bill are finally in the HoF (long overdue). Truly one of the greatest teams ever to be in the squared circle. Sharkey would be proud. You both deserve it. Congrats to your career!
@BlueBoxDave No. MN media is busy running cover for Klobuchar’s eventual landslide victory. We have other elected officials that flat-out deny it’s even an issue.
@ChadHartmanShow SC being the Dem’s first primary may offer her a couple delegates. It should be noted that Tulsi Gabbard had a better Iowa showing than KH
@CrimeWatchMpls My favorite part of this story is that he actually wanted to go to school as opposed to dropping out like so many others would. How many times did he graduate and get counted for walking the stage? 84.9 and climbing!
@MNUpNorthLakeG1 Only political bet I’d make isn’t if A-Klo wins? Rather how wide a margin. Right now? I’d bet Klobuchar wins by 10 points. Give the GOP candidate time to fuck it all up and the MN media to amplify it by November and I’d bet Klobuchar by 15
@billglahn DFL, labor unions or an email from Indivisible telling leftists to “Take Action!” haven’t gone out on the issue. Promotes economic growth? Drive down household energy costs? Why would we support that?
