Remember, historically the DFL-endorsed governor candidate hasn't actually won the primary. And the endorsement winner hasn't always been the obvious choice. Nor has the primary winner. It's very much a wide-open race!

Minnesota has to come first - always.
Today, I’m proud of the work we’ve done to make Minnesota the best place to live and raise kids.
I’ve decided to step out of the race and let others worry about the election while I focus on the work.

Political musical chairs, it's a game as Minnesotan as duck duck grey duck. Happens about every 8 years or so.

No weather-related light rail delays!
November 18 1943: The Minneapolis Tribune leads with "Snow Stops Buses, Not Trolleys" after a storm snarls traffic and causes buses to slide off the road. The Twin Cities Rapid Transit streetcar system is the only reliable thing moving.

New York Transit Museum's Holiday Train! Consisting of Arnine subway cars from the 1930s! And a very anachronistic sign (96th St/2nd Av did not open until 2017!)

A Gillig 40-footer (a bus from the A Line) is currently running on the E Line.
I had wondered if this would happen, given that the 6 never had articulated buses before.

I think the E Line has incredible potential and could easily become the busiest BRT line. It's just such a slam-dunk route that has previously been shortchanged with low frequency. Bummed I'm missing the rollout but I hope you all enjoy!

St. Paul voters on Tuesday handed a historic election victory to state Rep. Kaohly Her, who will be the first woman and first Hmong person to serve as mayor.
Her upset her former boss, two-term Mayor Melvin Carter, to win the election.

Strib basically admitting they don't report fairly on transit
(Reality: ridership is up, crime is down, budget is increasing commensurate to increased service, fare evasion has never been very high)
