The StarTribune posts a progress report on the Northstar Commuter rail. For the first time, the House passed a measure to support funding for the initiative, and by a wide margin. Seems the Republican's don't want to be accussed of not getting anything done again this sessions, and since this project is fairly high-profile makes sense they'd change their tune. Besides, this is probably one of the cheapest transportation projects around so why not do it?!
Glad to see its finally moving forward. Though I'll probably never use it since I'm not rooted in that part of the state, but any step forward is a step forward and could usher in more projects of this kind. Wouldn't mind being able to take a train to Rochester and visit the family, etc.
