Saint Paul, MN – Today, Joel Smith, President and Business Manager of LIUNA Minnesota and North Dakota released the following statement after the Minnesota Legislature adjourned without making critical job-creating investments in Minnesota’s infrastructure.
“We are deeply disappointed the Legislature did not come to an agreement on critical investments in our roads, bridges, transit and water infrastructure. We call on our state leaders to come back together to negotiate and deliver a $1.4 billion bonding bill, transformational investment in water infrastructure, 100 percent dedication of sales tax on auto parts and repairs to transportation, and matching dollars to maximize federal infrastructure funds. Minnesotans need and deserve better.”
