 Governor Mark Dayton is asking the state legislature for $130 million in natural resources asset preservation support for the DNR. Dayton says the money would be used for urgently needed improvements to DNR buildings and other infrastructure. A broken water line at Jaycook State Park this year meant no water for drinking or flushing toilets after the park shut down the water supply and closed all the bathrooms with flushed toilets. The DNR says the broken water line is among the growing list of repairs needed throughout the state to hundreds of roofs, dilapidated bridges, washed out roads and culverts, substandard electric service and failing mechanical and utility systems. We manage many forest roads across northern Minnesota where timber is harvested. Many of those roads have bridges that now have weight restrictions on them because they can't take the weight on them. We have more than 100 miles of state trail that's paved that needs replacement that has not been taken care of adequately because we have not had the money and again 192 buildings that are unsatisfactory unsafe not conducive to public use. The DNR's 10-year capital needs report shows 192 of the agency's inventory of 2700 buildings are in crisis or unacceptable condition and 520 are in poor condition.
