Since when does the legislature have their hands tied behind their backs to implement real solutions to real problems? You can remove the advisory board and the problems are still there. I'm sort of sick of the met council being the scapegoat for years of impotent legislators without any realistic unified bipartisan goals for transportation in the region. I do note that multiple commuter rail lines could have been put into use easily and much cheaper than a questionable LRT line. I'm sold on LRT as a possible use of intercity transit, however, I'm not sure the 7 line was the best choice based on what I think the ridership numbers might turn out to be, but I could be proven wrong. -- Scott Dier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.ringworld.org/ _______________________________________________ Twin Cities Metropolitan Issues Forum http://www.e-democracy.org/tcmetro Rules: Sign posts with real name.
