Rep. Drazkowski: Appearance of Zip Rail corruption should give everyone pause
When government attempts to hide something from its citizens, those citizens have a right to be suspicious.
Our latest example is brought to you by the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) from its discussions surrounding the proposed high speed rail line from the metro area to Rochester.
Almost all of us have heard of the Zip Rail line that would extend from the Twin Cities to Rochester. This plan is currently undergoing an environmental study while MnDOT requests millions for passenger rail service, including Zip Rail.
