Happy to be getting out of the Capitol to talk about this past legislative session!

The #mnleg MANDATED that Uber/Lyft contract with Somali Community Resettlement Services. We had a very public debate about the problem with requiring private companies to work with this group, but all DFL voted for it. Institutionalizing corruption. minnesotareformer.com/2024/05/23/som…

A 1,400+ page bill unveiled and forced through at the last minute by flagrantly violating all rules, with no debate, is not how we should govern.

Gov. Walz must veto.

“We urge you to do what is right – not just what is politically expedient for you and your party.'

House and Senate GOP leaders have sent a letter to the Governor urging a veto of the 1,432 page bill that wasn't even available to see online until after Democrats forced a vote on it.

GOP legislative leaders ask Gov. Walz to veto 1,400 page megaomnibus bill, citing rules violations. “Signing this bill would signal to Minnesotans that you explicitly endorse the outrageous and unprecedented breach of process that put the bill on your desk

📈 Riders pay more

This bill is going to raise the cost of your Uber ride by 30% or more. Yet another hidden tax hike thanks to Minnesota Democrats. #mnleg

What changed, Melissa Hortman?

Utter commotion in the House as Republicans protest more than 1,000 page bill introduced with just 45 minutes remaining to vote. It includes a binary trigger ban and and changes to paid family and medical leave. #mnleg

Fascinating.

MN DEMOCRAT CONTROLLED Senate has broken down into chaos.

Republican minority shut out of debate. Democrats voting for a bill NO ONE HAS READ NOR IS IT ONLINE.

UNDER DFL TRIFECTA, the minority party has zero voice.

Since there are comparisons being drawn…. The 2018 omnibus bill was 900 pages and was built in committee over a month, debated and passed in both chambers.

As a former Senate Minority Leader, it saddens me to witness the erosion of this institution. The minority must always have a voice in the legislative process. May we find the courage to work together to restore the public trust and that of each other. #mnleg

An enormous bill passed without time to print out or even access online before Democrats rammed the bill through without letting the minority even speak.

Chaos in the Minnesota House and Senate to end the 2024 session. 'There was zero debate on a bill that was more than 1400 pages. There was not even an opportunity to review the bill,' House Minority Leader Lisa Demuth says in a statement. Democrats were facing a midnight deadline

We do not know what’s included in the bill. Not only was it not online at the time of the vote, our caucus never even received a copy.

This is what Tyranny looks like.

The omnibus bill is not even available in print or online and they refused to make it available before passing it. Absolutely shameful. A sad day in the MN House.
