Another day, another floor session. This time it's Tuesday evening, and the bill is the Capital Investment bill. Generally, the odd-numbered year's bonding bill is a bit slimmer than the even-numbered year's. This is again the case this year.
But there is good news for Chisago County. $500,000 will be bonded for the Rush Line commuter transit corridor infrastructure along highway 35 and highway 61.
The debate is just beginning, but I will be sure to add an update or two or three before the night is done.
UPDATE: Only four amendments, all of which were voted down with a wide majority. We're now on third reading.
UPDATE II: The bill passed 84-45, after a fairly brief discussion. Perhaps we're on the path to somewhat quicker sessions...?
Regardless, the next step of investment in the Rush Line is one evening closer to reality.
