ST. PAUL, Minn. – Governor Dayton unveiled a robust bonding bill on Friday totaling $1.4 billion worth of infrastructure projects. The total bonding bill announcement was preceded by the Governor’s unveiling of the $220 million water quality and infrastructure portion of the bill on Thursday. As Chair of the Senate Capital Investment Committee, Sen. LeRoy Stumpf (DFL-Plummer) released the following statement.
“The Governor’s bill goes a long way toward helping support and revive our state’s aging infrastructure system. Minnesota received around $3.5 billion in bonding requests, and by traveling the state for six weeks this fall it’s clear to me, that there is a significant need for investments to maintain critical infrastructure systems like wastewater and safe drinking water, roads and bridges, colleges and universities and so much more,” said Sen. Stumpf.
