"At a time when the Federal government is wiping out funding for community projects, it is more important than ever that state lawmakers meet our end of the bargain and support these shovel ready projects." - @senatorpappas.bsky.social minnesotareformer.com/2025/04/03/s... #mnleg

"State senators from both parties talked up the importance of having the city-owned X-- and the Wild in particular-- anchor a downtown that has lost workers, businesses, and vitality since the onset of the pandemic and remote work." @frederickmelo.bsky.social www.twincities.com/2025/03/25/s...

“People are worried about their aging water and sewer infrastructure. People are upset about roads that we can’t maintain. Everything seems to be aging out at the same time ... and the Xcel, that’s only 25 years old.” - Chair @senatorpappas.bsky.social www.startribune.com/st-paul-minn... #mnleg

“Any dollars that we’re able to get in partnership from the state or federal government just helps ease the burden on the users of the water system,” said Duluth Mayor @rogerforduluth.bsky.social #mnleg #infrastructure www.mprnews.org/story/2025/0...

"Quickly passing a bonding bill with no strings attached would go a long way toward improving the working relationship between the two parties, especially with the difficult budget discussions coming up. It would also show Minnesotans that we can get things done." www.inforum.com/opinion/lett...
