Editor’s Column/April 2003

by Tim Benjamin

It’s been a very difficult legislative session to follow; seems one minute things are changing faster than I can keep track of and the next minute everything has stalled!  At the time of publication, the Legislature is in its stalled mode.  But keep your eyes and ears open and don’t forget Thursdays at the Capitol.  On Thursday, April 17 the push will be on reconsidering the cuts made to Metro Mobility and Greater Minnesota transit. . . .  Editor’s Column, April 2003
