NEW FLIPPABLE: Mike Erickson for MN-HD35A
In his May 31, 2019, legislative update, John Heinrich wrote this:
“I will continue working to secure funding for the Highway 47/Ferry Street railroad overpass as well as for the expansion of Highway 10 to three lanes in both directions (between Hanson Blvd and Round Lake Blvd). Both of these projects will improve safety, allow for easier and faster travel, and boost our local economy. I pushed hard for them this year, but unfortunately the legislature did not pass a bonding bill this session. With no bonding bill, most local infrastructure projects like these didn’t receive any state funding this year.
However, next session is a non-budget year in which bonding will be a bigger focus, and I am optimistic we can fund these important projects when that time comes.”
Apparently that time has not yet come. Last night party loyalty won out over the interests of the district's constituents - Heinrich voted NO!
Thankfully for the residents of Anoka and Ramsey, more pragmatic Republicans were willing to reach across the aisle to get the measure passed, leaving open the possibility we can still enjoy the benefits to the community the project(s) will bring.
