That is by no means a "bypass". The DOT sure pulled one over on the taxpayers with this fiasco. Everyone who worked on the design of that project should be tared and feathered and ran out of town. Where else have you seen a project where they cut down miles of trees to make way for a highway only to come back and replant the same cleared area with trees. And now they have repaved it with stuff that makes it the noisiest highway in Minnesota.
Helping the needy without solicitation
sure became a pipe dream in the world of today with every alleged "poor" person receiving from local, state, and federal agency, not to mention the ever growing "charities" that are designed to make one feel good, while actually making some fat cat richer by the donation.
Interesting, onMSN's home page today,
the top 19 RICH (as in Multi-Millionaires) Legislators/Senators. 11 of the 19 claim to be of the 99% and are DFLers! As Gomer would say, Supprise, Supprise, Supprise!!!!!
