Summary: House Republicans introduced their 2018 bonding bill at the State Capitol this week. They're proposing to spend $825 million on a variety of public works projects. It's roughly half as much as the $1.5 billion Governor Dayton has proposed for a bonding bill in 2018. Our conversations with candidates for governor of Minnesota continues this week with Tim Walz. The Democratic congressman is giving up his seat in Minnesota's 1st Congressional District to run for governor. Walz has represented the 1st District, covering much of southern Minnesota, since 2007. Walz spent 24 years in the National Guard, and is also a former high school teacher and football coach.
