ROCHESTER — Since the fate of two bills opposed by the Mayo Clinic is still up in the air, the Mayo Clinic Board of Trustees has opted to delay finalizing decisions about an estimated $4 billion investment.

This story begins on May 3, when Kate Johansen, Mayo Clinic’s vice chair of external engagement, sent an email to Gov. Tim Walz and state lawmakers threatening to consider planned construction projects described as “four times the size of the investment in US Bank Stadium,” if the Keeping Nurses at the Bedside Act (KNABA) and the Health Care Affordability Board bills are enacted.
