Southwest Light Rail

This 2 billion dollar boondoggle is going through. More federal dollars wasted under deficit spending. Then with light ridership, we Minnesota taxpayers have to pay more property taxes to keep it subsidized for it always loses money. Ticket sales and light ridership do not pay to keep it going.

In the 12/1/18  StarTribune, conservative critic Kim Crockett of the Center of the American Experiment (a Golden Valley-based conservative think tank) asked why we should invest billions in LRT infrastructure when the country is on the verge of a revolution in transpsortation. He complained, "Minnesota will be stuck paying for older technology while smarter metro areas adopt 21st century  options like ride-share, self-driving buses and cars, and the use of 'smart' and dedicated lanes."

Of course our two Democratic stooge Senators Klobuchar and Smith, are front and center, photographed for bring home the popular bacon. Way to go ladies. You just bankrupted America that much faster.
