Northstar audit

So the report says nothing was illegal, but it still sounds bad. Two similar groups (Northstar Corridor Development Authority and the Anoka County Regional Railroad Authority) hiring the same consultants? Almost $9,000 on food over 220 occasions with little documentation? What's up with that?

This is Minnesota, not Louisiana or Mississippi. Our government organizations are supposed to be clean, not corrupt. Although no laws were apparently broken, this kind of stuff simply looks bad. Is it really necessary to build a commuter rail line?
