Minnesota lawmakers are pushing for tens of millions of dollars in [additional disaster relief funding]( amid concerns that this winter’s heavy snowfall could trigger spring flooding across the state. A proposal unveiled by Republican legislators Monday would appropriate $40 million to the Minnesota Disaster Assistance Contingency Account over the next two years.
