Walz returns to flood-damaged Rapidan Dam, outlines 2025 bonding proposals
In his first public visit to Mankato after his run for vice president, Gov. Tim Walz braved the afternoon cold on Thursday to return to Rapidan Dam and outline his 2025 bonding proposals. His $887 million pitch includes $10 million for dam recovery efforts after last summer’s catastrophic flooding that resulted in the Blue Earth River carving a route around the debris-clogged dam.
