Soon, interior demolition will begin and will continue through 2017, when work is scheduled for completion.
On this week's Capitol Report, Administration Commissioner Spencer Cronk highlights the work to be done and the urgency for legislators to have supported and pass the financing plan. Also, Senator Roger Chamberlain, R-Lino Lakes, explains why the project won Republican votes, when several other capital improvement projects failed to gain passage.
Also in the program, Julie explores with Sen. Chamberlain the influence of Republicans in the 2013 session, not only in their decision to support a limited number of bonding projects, but also their work in defeating other high-profile issues.
Finally, Senator Bobby Joe Champion, DFL-Mpls., explains the new law, called "Ban the Box," which prohibits employers in their application forms to question job seekers about previous felony convictions.
