Ramsey and State money.

My understanding is that over the last three bonding bills, no money went to Ramsey, from the State. If any reader knows otherwise, please correct me via a comment or email.

I presume that whether a conditional grant might be at issue, it still would show up that way, regarding Ramsey, in bonding bills. One would hope there is that kind of transparency on the question of who gets State money, especially now, when the State budget is so tight because the GOP opposes a lot and the GOP has the veto pen.

My specific concern is whether any committee testimony or state-oriented efforts from Ramsey or from District 48, 48A or 48B individuals on behalf of Ramsey yielded anything real, or was only showing up and getting an "advocacy for the folks" ticket punched.
