Midday with Gary Eichten will air a public forum held at Minnesota Public Radio headquarters called "What Does Safety Cost?" The forum was held in the aftermath to the 35-W bridge collapse in Minneapolis. Citizens, public policy experts, and economists discussed what the public would accept to pay for the increased spending on roads and bridges. Minnesota Public Radio's Laura McCallum moderated the talk which invariably lead to a hot-button topic on funding infrastructure: the gas tax.
