(St. Paul, MN) -- Some federal infrastructure funding is in jeopardy because of a stalemate at the state level.

Minnesota lawmakers were deadlocked on state matching dollars that are part of a spending and tax agreement that fell apart at the end of the legislative session over a week ago.

Agreement on the funds are key to unlocking a portion of seven-point-three billion dollars in federal funds the state expects to get from a massive package passed by Congress last year.
