Shoreview Republican Representative Phil Krinkie is suing Governor Ventura to force the Governor to show the proposed Hiawatha AVenue light rail line meets legal requirements. Ventura approved a bonding bill which includes money for light rail. The state's cost benefit analysis released after bonding was approved shows the Hiawatha Avenue line will yield one dollar of public benefit for every two dollars of cost. Those results don't appear to meet a state law requiring projects to show a positive benefit.
