"Political Controversy Erupts Over $1 Billion Bridge Funding in Minnesota and Wisconsin"

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz criticized Rep. Peter Stauber for celebrating over $1 billion in federal funds for a bridge project that he had voted against. Walz accused Stauber of hypocrisy and credited President Joe Biden for securing the funding. Stauber's tweet celebrated the funding for the Blatnik Bridge in Duluth, Minnesota, which is set to be replaced with the federal funds. Lt. Gov. Peggy Planagan also criticized Stauber for not supporting the infrastructure bill.
