MN HOUSE SPEAKER WANTS TO CREATE JOBS

Minnesota House Speaker Margaret Anderson Kelliher said over the weekend that the next big job for lawmakers is to pass a bonding bill. Kelliher said the projects that should get approval should also supply jobs. She said lawmaker's main focus will not be this project versus that project but which will produce jobs over the next 12 months. Kelliher said that's the segment of the Minnesota economy that needs the most help. Sponsors suggested roughly $4-Billion dollars worth of public projects for this year's bonding bill. The state budget debt service segment will be handle around 1/41th of that.
