Looking Ahead...
Once the legislative session begins, things will move
fairly quickly. Even though the session starts later than
last year’s, we are still required to adjourn by May
21st. I look forward to meeting with constituents rep-
resenting the MN Catholic Conference, the MN Or-
ganization on Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, and students
from the University of Minnesota-Duluth, as well as
members of the Bloomington Federation of Teachers.
If you have time, I hope you’ll stop by the Capitol and
