MANKATO — Millions of dollars in additional state aid will be coming to south-central Minnesota cities, along with a one-time windfall for public safety spending, under budgets signed into law by Gov. Tim Walz. There's an $80 million boost in annual aid to cities with an equal amount headed to counties, and local governments will split another $300 million in funds targeted to police and fire protection and crime prevention. For larger outstate cities, a new program provides funding to boost affordable housing.
