This is a statewide issue and has already come up in the Minnesota Politics Discuss forum, however I think its very relevant to in terms of Metro Issues, because transportation is such a huge priority in our area.

This kind of backward thinking really alarms me. I think that our previous Commisioner of Transportation made it very clear, that we could not plan new roads and bridges if we aren't willing to maintain the ones that we already have.

If we can't afford to plow our our highways now, what will happen once we've built more of them?

"To free money to build new roads, Lt. Gov. Carol Molnau is proposing cuts that could leave highways with snowier surfaces, faded markings and fewer rest areas."
