HWY 36

[jasondbaker]

Let's be intellectually honest.  We could have raised billions in gas taxes and the 35W bridge still would not have been replaced.  The bridge was examined and the engineers determined that it did not need to be replaced until 2015+.  So do you really think those billions would have been spent on a few bridges or maybe something like more education spending?  People like to pretend that there is some mythical account that is used for spending money on roads and bridges in MN.  It's called the General Fund.  And every politician and lobbyist has their sticky fingers in it.
