Light rail - The state only builds 9-10% of roads if we reduce the gasoline tax
and had the money come elsewhere. We divert $130 million in year to the Met
Council, they do sewer work (billed seperately) from property taxes, they push
light rail and pub. transportation, we are using the $$ for new urbanism and
light rail. IF we got fir of the Met council we wouldn't need the gas tax. Hen
cty is trying to put a a portion of MN bureau of engraving to a parking lot
underground for the light rail. Where is the MPLS community getting all this
money for this project? Their is a Large tax increment financing there(when
someone increases property value for tax purposes) When I pay those taxes that
goes to repay those bonds
