This Is Good News

MnPublius has just reported that the House of Representatives has just overridden the Gov's veto of the transportation bill. Not only will there be money for roads and bridges from the gas tax, the seven county metro will have the authority to add to the sales tax for mass transit. Hopefully there will be some serious money devoted to more light rail and to the building of a commuter rail system for the metro. I've even heard rumblings of spur being built on the Northstar line up to Cambridge. How cool would that be. We could take the train up to visit.
