I have put together a piece that explains how the national financial crisis
led to Minnesota's budget deficit. It includes a photo of the flipchart I used,
and a narrative to explain it. Please check the "Budget Deficit" link above
to read this latest information.
Thank you,

Thanks to all who supported my re-election to the MN House of
Representatives! Many of you volunteered your help in so many ways
during the campaign; my deep appreciation goes out to you all. Thanks
to everyone who voted for me on November 4. I received 2,805 more
votes than in 2006. I am proud and honored to be able to continue to
serve you.
I am also pleased to announce that the Fridley station of the Northstar
commuter rail will be built this spring! On October 29, the Counties
Transit Improvement Board granted the $9.9 million to complete the funds
needed for the construction. This funding comes from the 1/4-cent sales
tax increase in 5 metro counties that was established for transit projects
by the transportation bill we passed legislatively earlier this year. Watch
for the building of the station at 61st between East River Road and Main
Street, and be ready to ride Northstar in late 2009!
As always, feel free to contact me anytime with concerns and suggestions.
Carolyn
