Transportation Message
The CGMC would like to thank the state legislature for passing a comprehensive transportation package. The bill will help ease some of the pressure on property taxes and help repair and improve our roads and bridges. A strong transportation system is essential to improving the economic vitality of greater Minnesota cities. See how MnDot's finances have improved with the passage of the 2008 transportation funding bill.
