Action Alert – Contact Your Legislators Today!

As talk of a comprehensive transportation bill continues at the the Legislature, U.S. Highway 14 needs your help!   

We mailed a letter to legislators this week asking them to contact members of the transportation conference committee and urge them to include sufficient funding for Corridors of Commerce in any compromise bill. Now, we need you to follow up with our Highway 14 legislators. Please contact them and ask for needed funding so we can finally finish U.S. 14!

Sample Message to Legislators:

Dear <Senator/Representative>

Funding for Corridors of Commerce is essential for economic growth across Southern Minnesota. As the transportation conference committee plans its long-term transportation funding bill, we need your help to ensure sufficient funding to finally finish U.S. Highway 14. As my legislator, I am asking you to speak to the transportation conference committee and ask them to include $200 million/year in long term-funding for Corridors of Commerce. This needs to be a mix of cash as well as bond proceeds.

Senate Conferees are: Senators Dibble, Kent, Jensen, Hawj and Schmit

House Conferees are: Representatives Kelly, Petersburg, Howe, Sanders and Erhardt

If the Legislature fails to pass a comprehensive transportation plan, they can at least do this: A one-time payment to Corridors of Commerce can keep us moving forward. If there is no comprehensive bill, please speak to your leadership about funding Corridors of Commerce with $200 million cash and $300 million trunk highway bonds.

We can finish U.S. Highway 14, but only if our Highway 14 Legislators speak up for us and work to Fix 14 Now!

Thank you for your help.
