ERHARDT HONORED BY COALITION OF GREATER MINNESOTA CITIES
ST. PAUL-The Coalition of Greater Minnesota Cities awarded Rep. Ron Erhardt, R- Edina, the Legislator of Distinction Award for transportation policy July 26 at the coalition’s three-day summer conference in Detroit Lakes.
The Legislator of Distinction Award is given to legislators who have played key roles in passing legislation important to the CGMC and greater Minnesota during the preceding session.
Erhardt was recognized for his unwavering support of a comprehensive transportation bill in the Legislature last session. He opposed both his House caucus and the governor by supporting the transportation legislation.
“Rep. Erhardt appreciates the desperate transportation and infrastructure needs of the entire state,” said Tim Flaherty, executive director of the CGMC. “He recognizes that transportation policy and funding should not be a divisive, political issue. Rep. Erhardt is a proven leader on transportation issues at the Capitol. ”
Erhardt has a history of supporting increased funding for transportation. In 2005, he authored an amendment to the House transportation bill that included a gas tax increase. Like the 2007 legislation, that bill also was vetoed by the governor.
The CGMC is a nonprofit advocacy organization that represents 68 cities outside of the Twin Cities metropolitan area. The organization educates legislators about issues important to greater Minnesota.
