$1.1B for Light Rail?

My source in St. Paul told me that roughly 20% of the Gas Tax Increase would be spent on light rail projects in the Metro. Yesterday, I heard the figure $1.1-Billion of the total Gas Tax Increase of $6.6-Billion! I don't remember our local elected officials saying anything about money for light rail. I heard roads and I heard bridges and I heard money for the county road department. Perhaps they forgot, somewhere between the meeting in St. Paul where they learned about the formula and the next time someone asked them about the Gas Tax Increase. The County Fair is around the corner. Make sure you ask incumbents where the money goes!
