Robert, I don't have an answer to your question, but as a non-Hwy-55
protester, I found today's MnDOT action completely unconvincing and
disingenuous. It's my opinion that they are pitching a hissy fit, and
that's not the way public policy should be conducted.
I'd give them the benefit of the doubt, except I'm told they assured
people over and over again that there would be no damage to the spring -
and now they say there's no way to avoid it.
I may be a little slow on the uptake, but I'd say all of you protesters
and looking really smart right now. Thanks to you and the Watershed
district for holding their feet to the fire on a range of issues. I
believe in government, and even tolerate human screw-ups within
government's halls...but this kind of arrogance should carry sanctions,
IMHO. Can we find someone else to do the work and cut MnDOT out of the
process?
I'd love to hear from Julie Sabo about the legislative outlook and her
current views on this matter. She was essential in protecting the
spring, and I hope she won't be bullied.
