There are enough social programs out there to choke a horse. Trim them

Most lrt EIS modeling figure that people won't walk more than 1/4 mile to
get to a train. Might be 1/2, but I doubt it.
The likely reason that people drive and ride, even when they live within 2
miles, is the wait for the bus, the speed of the bus, and the wait for the

Keith is correct, the excuse that the jails are too full has always been a
myth. Dyna should look more towards the Hennepin County judges. They are
up for election, so everyone make sure to vote. Call a couple of
prosecutors and ask their opinion of those running, and remember if you do

not wait and make a reasonably justified assumption that the person on

Greg is correct, actually there does not seem to be any who was right and
who was wrong. The Doctor was completely within his right to await a
