Transportation funding in spotlight

Frank Douma is quoted in this story about the new transportation funding bill for Minnesota.

It seems like most people agree something needs to be done to increase transportation funding. However, the current political atmosphere in the state could make passing this bill difficult, said Frank Douma, assistant director of the State and Local Policy Program at the Humphrey Institute of Public Affairs.

"It's all rolled up in the relationship between this Republican governor and the leadership of this Democratic Legislature," he said. "They don't trust each other."
