An eight member panel is taking it's time in deciding whether to authorize state money to pay for a new I-35W bridge. The "Transportation Contingent Appropriations Group" is a group of senior lawmakers who have to decide whether the state should give $195 million to the Minnesota Department of Transportation. Without the money, MnDOT Commissioner Carol Molnau says her department will have to delay other transportation projects in order to pay for the replacement bridge. Minnesota Public Radio's Tom Scheck helps sort out the delay.
