MN Report Card

On October 9, 2018 ASCE Minnesota released its Report Card on state Infrastructure. See for details.

[MN Report Card @MnReportCard]

The @ASCEMN report card has identified gaps in MN’s infrastructure, and can serve as a roadmap for policymakers. Learn more here: https://t.co/kqkS0g5PQP #mnleg #infrastructure #ASCEMN

[MN Report Card @MnReportCard]

Without making the matches required for federal infrastructure dollars, MN is at a competitive disadvantage and will miss out on millions of dollars for vital investments across the state. #mnleg must act to keep the state competitive and meet citizens needs #IIJA #infrastructure

[Sandy Pappas @SenatorPappas]

When Republicans walked away from the session without passing a bonding bill, they walked away from $7.3 billion in federal infrastructure funding. If we don't pass a bonding bill, other states will get the money. Read more in my @MinnPost Op-Ed: https://t.co/FI4RoYF5TK

[MN Report Card @MnReportCard]

This is extremely disappointing. MN now at a competitive disadvantage for #IIJA discretionary grants. We are leaving millions on the table in #infrastructure $$. #mnleg must act!

[The Minnesota Star Tribune @StarTribune]

Minnesota leaders hit 'impasse' in special session negotiations. According to Gov. Tim Walz, Senate Republicans said in a meeting they don't plan to bring any more offers to the table. https://t.co/776Q0sGdsZ

[Mary Lahammer @mlahammer]

Former House Speaker Anderson Kelliher (now with Mpls Public Works) reminds lawmakers a historic opportunity to invest in infrastructure and future careers is possible. #mnleg @tpt @tptAlmanac

[League of Minnesota Cities @MinnesotaCities]

LMC’s @DFLightfoot, Austin Mayor Steve King, and Minneapolis Public Works’ @MAKMinnesota joined other local gov, trade, utility, and energy groups today to call for a special session so MN can pass a bonding bill and unlock federal infrastructure funds. #MnCities #LMCleg #mnleg

[Laura Ziegler @laurahziegler]

Cities, counties, utilities, Labor, construction and energy organizations call on the #mnleg to come back to the table and pass federal matching dollars and a bonding bill to maximize infrastructure investment. #agcmn

[MN Report Card @MnReportCard]

It makes common sense for #mnleg to agree to a special session and pass critical and necessary #infrastructure investments and matches for federal #IIJA $$. Infrastructure investments = prosperity for Minnesotans. Minnesota needs it!

[WCCO | CBS News Minnesota @WCCO]

Minnesota could risk losing out on millions in federal funding provided by the $1.2 trillion infrastructure law Congress passed last year if the state legislature doesn’t act soon on the transportation budget, MnDOT warns. | https://t.co/2NiX3KlxqP

[MN Report Card @MnReportCard]

#mnleg needs to come come to an agreement on the parameters of a special session. Billions of #infrastructure dollars from #IIJA are at risk. It just makes sense!

[Star Tribune Opinion @StribOpinion]

“Minnesota is slated to receive up to $7.4 billion in Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act funding, but only if we come up with required state matches," Frank Hornstein and Jamie Long write in a commentary. https://t.co/KxReg21xnG

Minnesota Legislature's unfinished business leaves billions on the table

Local View: Minnesota Legislature's unfinished work leaves billions 'on the table' https://t.co/0MbBpZJMv1

[MN Report Card @MnReportCard]

MN is set to miss out on an incredible opportunity for accessing federal #infrastructure $$. The economic opportunities are there for communities, but #mnleg needs to act and agree to special session to make the state matches. It's just common sense!

[Jessie Van Berkel @jessvanb]

Minnesota is expecting an infusion of federal cash for construction projects on a level not seen in decades. Some fear a stalemate at the Capitol could put a chunk of the dollars in jeopardy, though not all legislators say the situation is dire. https://t.co/IxXV3OzhZJ

[MN Report Card @MnReportCard]

This is why #mnleg leaders need to agree to a special session. Millions of #IIJA #infrastructure dollars are being turned away w/out state match!

[MPR News @MPRnews]

Minnesota’s share of some federal infrastructure money could be at risk if state lawmakers don’t resolve their impasse on a major spending bill that included required state matching funds. https://t.co/C4tZHWL3LJ

[MN Report Card @MnReportCard]

#mnleg needs to come back in and make the #infrastructure investments that MN needs. Infrastructure brings prosperity to everyone and millions from #IIJA are being left on the table. Contact your legislator here:

[MN Report Card @MnReportCard]

Among the unfinished work by #mnleg is matching funds for #IIJA. Minnesota is potentially missing out on millions of $$ in #infrastructure funding if they don't provide a state match. A special session is needed to provide Minnesotans w/ much needed investments #stribpol

[The Minnesota Star Tribune @StarTribune]

Gov. Tim Walz said he would meet today with leaders from the Minnesota House and Senate to discuss calling a special session to finish major legislative proposals left undone after the Legislature again missed the deadline for doing its work. https://t.co/uTukFBvwz9 #mnleg

[MN Report Card @MnReportCard]

The costs of needed upgrades to infrastructure will outpace current funding in the future, and @ASCEMN has ID’ed how to best begin necessary investments with the report card. More information can be found here: https://t.co/kqkS0g5PQP #mnleg #infrastructure #bonding

#IIJA $$$ are a great start, but @ASCEMN report card shows 20 years of funding gaps. Now is the opportunity to take care of the future and we can help! #infrastructure #mnleg #ASCEMN

[MN Report Card @MnReportCard]

States need this info ASAP to implement #IIJA matches to maximize available funds #mnleg

[Coalition of Greater MN Cities @greatermncities]

Water and wastewater infrastructure projects will only become more expensive and complex over time, and with inflation continuing to increase the cost of goods, we need lawmakers to pass HF3858/SF3545 and HF4115/SF4121 now.

[MN Report Card @MnReportCard]

Additionally, wastewater systems around MN need upgrades due to age and emerging contaminants. #IIJA sent a lot of money to MN for this, but the state needs to make robust, sustainable investments to get the most for our money and save Minnesotans $$ #mnleg #infrastructure

[MN Report Card @MnReportCard]

Minnesota's wastewater and drinking water systems received a C and C-, respectively. Learn about needs and how we can raise the grade from our #2022reportcard: https://t.co/71DoP8ic0z #mnwater #infrastructure #mnleg #ASCEMN

[MN Report Card @MnReportCard]

Many drinking water systems in MN are 50 years old, some are up to 100 years old. They are reaching the end of their use. The #mnleg can make investments to match #IIJA funds, and our report card can help them make targeted investments. #infrastructure #ASCEMN
