The federal gub mint gives block grants for states DOT to help highway infrastructure.
Minnesota like many states took said money and gave it to social issues instead.
Remember the Interstate bridge going in to Minneapolis that collapsed killing many? Well that bridge was supposed to have been repaired.
Same for so many other issues. Take block grant money to use for social issues instead of its real use.
Infrastructure is so mundane and there are votes to be bought by libs using block money to bribe voters.
The Democrats are breaking so many federal immigration laws now, why would they hesitate to break another law?
