Gov. Tim Pawlenty approved bonding for the $2.5 million North Edgewater Park landfill project Monday as part of the $717 million state bonding bill.

After using his line-item veto power to lower the price of the bill, Pawlenty lowered the bill requests from $925 million to $717 million.

It is unclear whether other local requests for Riverland Community College and the Manchester and Myrtle projects were still included in the bill.

Look to the Tribune for more information as it becomes available.
