BISMARCK, N.D. (KFGO) – Republican legislative leaders say a $1.1 billion bonding package aimed at financing infrastructure projects across North Dakota is being replaced by a far less costly proposal.
Senate Majority Leader Rich Wardner says the bill will be scrubbed. A new proposal that would be at least $300 million less will come from the House.
Wardner and House Majority Leader Chet Pollert said priority will be given only to water and flood-control projects. The original Senate proposal had not been publicly debated but had been the subject of several behind-the-scenes intraparty negotiations.
