Seems pretty clear to me that MnDOT has ceased to function in the best interest of Minnesotan commuters and tax payers. They don't even coorporate with our duly elected officials in turning over requested paperwork and reports? MnDOT's Commissioner Carol Molnau must go or does the blame stop at her boss- Governor Tim Pawlenty? SPECIAL REPORT Twice the Time, Twice the Money: What Went Wrong with the Wakota Bridge? Issue. Why is the Wakota Bridge reconstruction project taking twice as long and costing twice as much as originally anticipated? Overview.
