Sounds like our Minneapolis Red Star Tribune and our own little choo-choo "waste of taxpayer money."

From the far north, to the far south, libs are everywhere.

LOL about the strategy memo. Knd of caught them with their pants down so to speak.

The cost is just one of the issues. Our train ATTACKS people. LOL! Last count, we've had 49 pedestrian/car/train accidents (20 times the national average) since October and the track is only 7 1/2 miles. Many of the accident stories are quite entertaining. Here's the latest:

Jon Bannis was on the train when it came to a sudden stop. He initially thought it had run over a bag.

"When I got off, all these people were screaming," he said. "That's devastating seeing that."

Freddy Terrazas said he was waiting to cross Main at Rusk when he saw the man get struck, hit his head on the bricks that line the track and get dragged a couple of yards underneath the 98,500-pound train. Terrazas said the train, which had just departed the Main Street Square platform on the previous block, was beeping its horn in an apparent warning to the man standing atop the shrubs.

Pervis Richmond, manager of Domino's Pizza near the crash scene, ran out to help.

"He had a pulse when I got there, and then the train's hydraulic system dropped on him," said Richmond, an Alief volunteer firefighter.
