Republican Minnesota lawmakers are outraged the Dayton administration wants an additional 43 million dollars to fix and add features to the state’s troubled vehicle registration system, after nearly 100 million dollars was already spent. State I-T Department projects director Dana Bailey says they know how difficult it is for Minnesotans

Republican Representative Paul Torkelson of Hanska says for months the Dayton administration denied there were problems

State I-T officials say unless approval is likely for at least a “chunk” of the funding, on March 1st they’ll start taking outside contractors off the project.
