11. Pawlenty supports it, I think. He's kind of hamstrung by having
to work with the exurban wingnuts in the legislature who consider any kind of mass transit to be the same as godless communism. He came out supporting development of "commuter rail" recently.
The Reps in MN are going to do their best to be sure that the light rail line fails. They see every dollar that goes into urban rail transport as one less dollar for their freeway lanes. Their philosophy is to solve traffic jams with more concrete. Idiots.
