Ward Disappointed in Bonding Cuts

State Representative John Ward is disappointed the governor chose to delete two bonding projects in the Brainerd Area. He says the governor eliminated $320 million dollars from the bonding bill including the Cuyuna Area Trail and a multi use trail from Little Falls to Camp Ripley.

Ward says in an area where new jobs are important, the cuts are particularly painful.

Ward says this is a good time for projects, because the cost of materials and bids are lower. He says the Cuyuna Recreation Area bonding did make the cut, because it contained stimulus dollars.
