You'll have to explain that to me.<BR/><BR/>slinger: This blog is an infrastructure blog, meant to highlight the many forms of civic infrastructure that we all share... even though sidewalks are the primary focus, i'm really interested in media, democracy, and transportation as other sorts of shared, public space. its certainly not a photo blog in the traditional sense... Plus, who doesn't want an MPR decoder? I yearn for Gary Eichten's disapproval!Bill Lindekehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11373780012930618768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17629790.post-51611475827373573892007-08-08T07:44:00.000-06:002007-08-08T07:44:00.000-06:00Tax man cometh, tax man taketh.

Perhaps if our tax dollar were spent on infrastructure rather than social re-engineering, we'd all be better for it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17629790.post-29790933055843969742007-08-07T10:48:00.000-06:002007-08-07T10:48:00.000-06:00Does it matter what "type" of blog it is?

This is my point....<BR/><BR/>"At least 40% of the sales and use tax dedicated to light rail" That constitutional amendment that passed in 2006. Let's use that 40% for the roads and bridges. <BR/><BR/>Or better yet, take the money for the new Twins stadium and use that for roads and bridges. I know he doesn't mention that stadium either, I'm just stating another example. <BR/><BR/>Simply put, there are too many pet feel good projects that have better funding and more attention than our transportation department. <BR/><BR/>I'm not slandering his blog, that's not my intent, I'm asking if this is a photo blog about Twin Cities sidewalks or an editorial blog?Steve Cuddihyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08617072941840879211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17629790.post-75118138648829484132007-08-05T16:45:00.000-06:002007-08-05T16:45:00.000-06:00Great Commentary as always Bill...where was LRT ev...Great Commentary as always Bill...where was LRT ever mentioned I'd like to ask? <BR/>The Gas Tax is constitutionaly dedicated to Roads and Highways ONLY, that is the "user fee" that the politicians were talking about. All of the money will go to improved roads and infrastructure. Bill hasn't posted something abut Mass Transit in a while.<BR/>No need to slander someone elses blog, go sling comments like yours at the Star Tribune where they belong.Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04645223917476450374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17629790.post-36302993502720064372007-08-05T13:17:00.000-06:002007-08-05T13:17:00.000-06:00Let's spend another billion dollars on a light rai...Let's spend another billion dollars on a light rail line and ignore the commuter roads and bridges. Let's scrap light rail all together and there would be no need for a gas tax. <BR/><BR/>I thought this blog was a twin cities sidewalk blog, not an editorial blog.Steve Cuddihyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08617072941840879211noreply@blogger.com
