After I got past the initial news of the 35W bridge in Minneapolis my thoughts were this is what happens when you have a state that spends it’s highway funds on anything but roads and bridges.  Minnesota has a billion dollar light rail which runs at a deficit every year.  And like Congress they love to spend road funds on interpretive centers, biker paths, museums, convention centers, sports centers - anything but what the road funds are intended. 

Social engineering has long been the intent of the Socialist/Dhimmicrat party in Minnesota to starve drivers of their roads by not updating or building new roads.  The bridge collapse is just another example of what happens when you have Dhimmicrats running a state or city for decades - social programs are always more important than infrastructure.  Their only answer is to blame someone else and push to increase taxes on an already high tax state.
