In a historic moment, the Minnesota House voted today to override Gov. Tim Pawlenty's veto of a landmark transportation bill.
The House voted 91-41, one more than it needed to hand Pawlenty a stinging defeat. For years, the governor has fought any sort of tax increase to pay for road improvements, arguing instead to borrow for most of that work.
An hour and a half later, the Senate followed suit with a 47-20 vote.
