Capital Investment Committee Co-Chair Karin Housley (R-Stillwater) released the following statement responding to Gov. Tim Walz’s bonding proposal.

“I’m looking forward to crafting a bonding proposal that prioritizes safe transportation, clean water, and investing in critical regional projects. I am concerned the Governor’s proposal is about as big as last year, despite the looming $5.1 billion deficit. There’s room to bond for important, bipartisan projects, but this isn’t the time to be maxing out the state’s credit card on ‘nice-to-haves’.”
