Minnesota Rail Service Improvement Program
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Minnesota Rail Service Improvement Program (MRSI) was created in 1976. Funding for the MRSI Program was authorized in 1978. In 1982, a Constitutional Amendment provided for Bonds to be used for the MRSI Program. The MRSI Program has received General Fund appropriations totaling $16.0 million and Bond appropriations totaling $25.5 million over the life of the program. The 2003 Legislature rescinded $3.9 million July 1, 2003 and another $2.5 million will be taken July 1, 2004. This deduction from the MRSI Program will decrease the General fund appropriations to $9.6 million.
