Tliis was $5 million less than the <br />governor recommended and $9 million less than <br />requested. The final amount was a compromise <br />between the rural-dominated Senate position of <br />$69 million and the House which tended toward <br />full funding. A side deal allows the Met Council <br />to spend at a $90 million level for their first year, <br />thus requiring additional funding for year two or <br />drastic cuts. <br />VC Transportation <br />Services Fund <br />B No <br />Action <br />VD Transportation <br />Highway & Trans­ <br />portation Funding <br />Alternatives <br />A Not <br />Upheld <br />H.F. 1121 <br />(Rep.
