@nbminor@CPRNews@StarTribune Which Capitol? U.S. or Minnesota?
Either way, thanks for all the reporting. And the only promise in FasTracks was to spend the money on those projects. The projects themselves were conditional.
Best wishes to you!! Give my love to Dinkytown.
Hello! A little news from me.
Next week is my last at @CPRNews. Later this month I will join the @StarTribune's politics team covering the Capitol.
Denver, Colorado and CPR have all been wonderful to me since I arrived more than a decade ago. I'll miss this place dearly.
But I'm very excited to join the Strib's growing newsroom and start telling the stories of my own people.
I'm sure I'll be back in Colorado from time to time -- especially if that train to Boulder ever starts rolling.
RTD's board last week approved a ~5% raise to take Johnson's salary to about $420,000 a year. It is scheduled to vote tonight on an 18-month contract extension.
NEW - Wyatts Towing is no more.
The towing giant has apparently sold to Elite Towing.
On Tuesday, the phone number listed for Wyatts rang to Elite Towing. An operator who answered the phone said “Wyatts Towing no longer exists.”
