Pioneer Press: Pawlenty bonding proposal includes $225M for bridges
BY DENNIS LIEN Pioneer Press
Article Last Updated: 01/14/2008 09:51:49 AM CST
Gov. Tim Pawlenty proposed a $965 million bonding package today, with much of the money directed at new and improved roads and bridges.
"This proposal is fiscally responsible and it sets key priorities such as replacing more than 600 local bridges,'' Pawlenty said in a statement.
The package, he said, rises to $1.09 billion when user-financed bonds, trunk highway bonds and extra cash are included.
Almost 40 percent, or $416 million, would go to transportation. Of that, $225 million would be dedicated for local bridges and $30 million for local roads. The Central Corridor light-rail project would get $70 million.
He said the local bridge amount is more than four times larger than the amount in any previous bonding bill in state history.

Pawlenty targets illegal immigration

Gov. Tim Pawlenty is renewing his call to crack down on illegal immigration in Minnesota. The governor's plan includes some initiatives that don't need legislative approval and some that do.
St. Paul, Minn. — The governor issued an order that takes several steps to deal with illegal immigration without legislative agreement.
It requires state law enforcement officers to work with federal agents to enforce immigration laws. It instructs the Department of Public Safety to review photos on the state's driver's license database for possible fraud. And it requires any new state employees and contractors who do business with the state to verify citizenship through an Internet-based system operated by the federal government.
Pawlenty said the steps are necessary to respond to illegal immigration.
