Gov. Walz on Friday reveals part two of the bonding proposals he'll present to lawmakers when the Minnesota legislative session starts in a little more than a month.

The topic this time is water quality, after Walz on Thursday proposed borrowing $276 million to invest in safe and affordable housing projects. 


Senate Republicans responded to the Governor’s announcement a possible $2 billion bonding bill:

Senate Majority Leader Paul Gazelka said in a statement, "that he's not comfortable with the 2 billion price tag, and that lawmakers should carefully consider that today’s borrowing impacts tomorrow’s spending. Surpluses come and go, but obligations remain the same; like a household budget, we don’t just borrow money because we can or because we can get a good deal.”

The legislative session starts Feb. 11.
