Minnesota Senate Considers Pothole Repair

MINNESOTA (AP)- Pot holes are not just a problem here in Duluth. Apparently the issue is Statewide.

A house committee passed a bill this month that would have raised an estimated $550 million dollars. 

Most of it for infrastructure repair.

The money would have come from fuel taxes but Republicans opposed the bill.

And Gov. Mark Dayton was against it. Dayton said it would be better to debate the issue more fully in a non–election year.

Minnesota's aging highway system has more than 140,000 of state and local roads.
