Gov. Tim Walz pitches $276 million in bonds for affordable housing

Gov. Tim Walz unveiled the first phase of his 2020 state bonding proposal Thursday, recommending to the Legislature that Minnesota borrow $276 million to pay for affordable housing projects across the state.

The DFL governor said the figure, an increase from levels proposed by previous administrations, would go a long way in "addressing a need that all Minnesotans know is real."
