Governor's bonding bill focuses on transportation

A press release from the Office of the Governor of Minnesota:

ST. PAUL -- Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty this week released his bonding proposal for the 2008 legislative session, putting a strong focus on transportation infrastructure and statewide investment priorities that will yield significant long-term benefits. 

The proposal calls for $965 million in general obligation bonding, with a total of $1.09 billion when user-financed bonds, trunk highway bonds, and cash amounts are included. 


Are we part of exurbia?

In a story on the Minneapolis Star Tribune's Web site, outgoing Minnesota State Sen. Thomas Neuville called his district exurban.

The word means "a region beyond the suburbs of a city, inhabited chiefly by the well-to-do," according to my copy of Webster's dictionary.

Do you get the impression that the word means people who live in the district are rich snobs who prefer to exclude themselves from city, suburban, and country folk?
