I would love to see some data to support the claim that young people skip getting driver's licenses. My guess is we are at best looking a t a momentary blip due to the recession.

The Gateway Corridor Commission wants Legislative funding before deciding what the Gateway Corridor is. They want a blank check.

• Will it run on I-94 or Hudson Road?
• Will it be a bus or a train?
• Will the Minnesota Legislature fund a route for Wisconsin residents to speed into the Twin Cities with or without a reciprocity tax deal?

(A recent report says the MN & WI revenue departments agree that Wisconsin owes Minnesota $69 million. Minnesota wants an additional $6 million annually to cover lost money from Wisconsin commuters.)
