It may be a DEM - REP thing. The democrats have been lobbied to death by the LRT folks. Our CPRT group did informational lobbying a few years back. The republicans would hear us out, but the democrats would either not see us, or show us glazed-over eyes. "That's REAL nice!" And, out-a here.
I doubt if he even knows what PRT stands for let alone what it looks like. Things ARE changing, but maybe not where this guy comes from. It IS true that SWE/T2C made the first bid on the project. The mayor is enamored with T2C. The idea behind the effort is to prove a Minnesota-based system. He doesn't get that either.

Others joined in the Walz-bashing... TriTrack "inventor" Jerry Roane:

Notice he is not even asking for the funding but is personally standing in the way. How much does it cost him to ask the question? I did not have the time to submit TriTrack to Minn. I have enough snakes to kill around here but perhaps I should have submitted something to show support for my buds in Minn.

Skytrek "inventor" Jack Slade:
At a guess (scale of 1 to 10) he is almost up to 1....Jack Slade
Pod booster Walter Brewer:
How about minus 5?
Keep it KLASSY PRT Guys!
Time for a review....
No $25 million earmark for PRT pork project in Winona, Minnesota.
The ULTra PRT launch at Heathrow has been delayed at least 3 times.
The Swedish/Korean PRT prototype malfunctioned recently in front of the media.
The Masdar PRT (actually computer-guided golf carts that follow magnets imbedded in the roadway) has been scaled way back.
The much-hyped PRT project in Daventry ended in fiasco.
The so-called Morgantown PRT (it's a mundane people-mover) was the subject of a recent student newspaper editorial after a serious malfunction created a "fireball" and filled a vehicle with smoke.
