Index of SPPS Budget Discussion http://www.e-democracy.org/stpaul/spps-posts.html _________________________________________ Yesterday afternoon, the Senate Transportation Committee took up the bill sent over from the House that had an increase in the speed limit on Interstate 35E from West 7th to Downtown. First action out of the chute was for the Committee to remove that section of the bill, followed by a thoughtful discussion of speed limits on rural roads and safety, ending with the Committee deciding not to send the bill on to the full Senate.
List participant Repke was there, ready to tell the tale of how we got to where we are. I was there to try to explain the downsides of disobeying federal court orders and breaking your promises and ignoring the specific mitigation terms embodied in final Environmental Impact Statements. Other folks were there to explain things far more clearly than Repke or I ever could. But given the removal of that section, we just sat there, watching laws be made. Diane Gerth I really live in the West End. _____________________________________________ SPPS Budget Reduction Forum - Feb. 23-27 Co-Sponsored By NEAT: http://www.stpaulneat.org/ _____________________________________________ NEW ADDRESS FOR LIST: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To subscribe, modify subscription, or get your password - visit: http://www.mnforum.org/mailman/listinfo/stpaul Archive Address: http://www.mnforum.org/mailman/private/stpaul/
