The Republican-controlled North Dakota House has agreed to fund a rail spur to help a troubled shipping center in Minot. But lawmakers balked at giving more than $8 million in taxpayer money to bail out a trio of banks — including one owned by Republican U.S. Sen. John Hoeven.

The House instead agreed to provide a loan of up to $2.5 million for track improvements for the facility.
