(St. Paul, MN) – Republican Leader David Hann (R-Eden Prairie) released the following statement:

“Republicans have been working together with Democrats to put together a reasonable compromise on a bonding bill that will fund important projects while ensuring future generations of taxpayers won’t be overloaded with enormous debt. Governor Dayton today called Republicans “extremists” for taking the position that government spending should be kept to a reasonable level and not spent wastefully. Governor Dayton’s pattern of name calling when he doesn’t get his way is disrespectful and unproductive to the democratic process. It’s time for the governor to get on board with the compromises that have already been made between the other four bodies in the legislature. For our part, Republicans will continue to be thoughtful about maintaining the long-term health of the state and consider the future interests of Minnesotans.”
