Washington, DC – Tonight, Congresswoman Betty McCollum (MN-04) issued the following response to the Senate's passage of St. Croix Bridge legislation (S. 1134).

"It's no surprise that Senator Klobuchar's bill passed the Senate. But in the House, we need to find a common sense compromise because a $700 million bridge across the St. Croix River is bad fiscal policy, bad transportation policy, and bad environmental policy."

Congresswoman Betty McCollum serves on the House Appropriations and Budget Committees.
