We built in money to our budget last year to support minimum payments on this <br /> amount. If we want Governor Pawlenty's larger bonding bill (or increase our credit limit),we need to <br /> find an additional $28 million over the next 3% years. Once the state has borrowed the money,we <br /> have 20 years to pay it off. <br /> NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN <br /> Town Hall Meeting <br /> Don't forget our town hall meeting to discuss the future of sex offender laws in Minnesota.
