Infrastructure Funding and Revenue

We need strong, sustainable investments in Minnesota’s infrastructure to create good union jobs and ensure safe roads, bridges, water systems, and public services. Smart infrastructure funding strengthens communities and supports economic growth statewide.

Capital Investments and Infrastructure Bonding

LIUNA champions robust bonding bills to repair aging infrastructure while creating thousands of construction jobs. Investing in public facilities, roads, and utilities ensures a stronger future for all Minnesotans.

Local Government Aid

Cities rely on Local Government Aid (LGA) to fund essential public services while keeping property taxes stable. LIUNA supports increasing LGA to ensure members who plow streets, maintain parks, and keep cities running can continue serving their communities.

Road, Bridge, and Transit Funding

Minnesota faces an $18 billion funding gap for roads, bridges, and transit. LIUNA supports comprehensive, dedicated transportation funding to fix crumbling infrastructure, expand transit, and create union jobs that strengthen our state’s economy.

Water Infrastructure Funding

Replacing lead service lines and upgrading aging water systems is a public health and economic priority. LIUNA supports investing $12.3 billion over 20 years to ensure clean drinking water, safe wastewater systems, and good-paying jobs.

Revenue/Fair Taxation

LIUNA advocates for everyone to pay their fair share in taxes. We need new progressive revenue to fund infrastructure, education, and public services that benefit everyone.
