ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Democrats in charge of the Minnesota House on Tuesday unveiled a plan for publicly financed construction that sprinkles a host of projects across Republican-held districts, but it is unclear whether it can attract the needed GOP votes to pass.
The new proposal would pay for civic center renovations, college science labs, a state Capitol fix-up and museum and trail projects around the state. It clocks in at $858 million worth of construction, about $800 million of which would require state borrowing.
