"Once again, the sheeple and commies in this state have been taken for a ride - and not a train ride. What a bunch of BS and hogwash. If the Hinkley casinos were taken off the route, guess how many people would be riding this boondoggle? Answer - not many."
Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. Did you know during the spend-a-thon in St. Paul, close to $200M was stuck aside to build the casino train. Casino train? What the what? That is what the Northern Lights Express which is destination Duluth really is. It is a train headed to the tribe's casino complex in Hinckley. If you miss that stop, you can get off in Duluth.
Oh, but wait! MNDOT thinks if we can garner the funding and permits, there will be a million people riding this train every year, starting in 2050. And the cost to ride up to Duluth is only $30 to $35 (one way). Who then pays for the rest of the ticket? $35 can't possibly cover the cost? Look in the mirror boy.
Once again, the sheeple and commies in this state have been taken for a ride - and not a train ride. What a bunch of BS and hogwash. If the Hinkley casinos were taken off the route, guess how many people would be riding this boondoggle? Answer - not many.
After the mess that Northstar turned out to be, after the bottomless money pit that SWLRT turned out to be, after the crime magnets that the cities LRT stations turned out to be, why in the world would any taxpayer want another money pit? Give up? Because the DEMOCRATS are controlled by the tribes. The casino tribes. Most DEMOCRATS don't give two hoots and a holler if this NLX becomes a lemon. By the time that happens, many will be out of office and will have moved on.
I am not going to waste too much ink on this issue, as having this train become reality would be like pulling and inside straight. Lots of "ifs", and the temperature of the public is tepid on this one. With that I will say, HARD STOP!
