Hey, chins up everyone! The Feds have guaranteed federal LRT funds. The article is available at the link below. http://www.pioneerplanet.com/docs/head9.htm One quote from the article- "the federal government will pay for $334 million of the 11.4-mile line's $625 million cost" Way to go Feds! But what about the inevitable $150- 300 million dollar cost overrun? Who's on the hook for that? richard carney st. paul ps: now that this is officially federally, state, and locally funded, will the Boy Scouts be allowed to ride?
