David Piehl comments: If the project were to go to the legislature I think Mr. Brauer's assessment would be generally accurate, though my relatives in rural Minnesota repeatedly say that "the city" sucks up most of MNDoT's funding, so rural legislators might be inclined to vote against what could be perceived as "Minneapolis pork". However, the Access Project promoters are conveniently going around the legislature. Yes, that's right, the Access Project will not come in front of the legislature; oh my, that would be the the democratic process at work!
