    Presidential Election Results

    2016 Election Overview The outcome of the 2016 elections has definitely altered the landscape for transportation policy and funding initiatives. From the Presidency down to state legislative races, we face a new legislative dynamic and many new faces. What hasn’t changed: the huge need for resources to increase the nation’s and the state’s investment in the transportation system and bipartisan agreement on that fact. Prior to the outcome of Tuesday’s election we were hearing from candidates on both sides of the aisle that increasing investments in infrastructure was an area of agreement. Candidates for Minnesota’s legislature brought up the need for a comprehensive, long-term transportation funding package over and over again in news stories, candidate profiles and candidate forums. We were hearing more from candidates about transportation than we have in previous election cycles. Voters in other states, made their voices heard by approving ballot initiatives in 22 states that increased and stabilized funding for transportation. As we head into 2017, transportation advocates have a huge opportunity to capitalize on the widespread support for infrastructure improvements. However, it will take the involvement of transportation advocates across the state making their voices heard to rise above partisan squabbling and the many other issues that will be on the table.

    December 8, 2020 Governor Tim Walz Minority Leader Kurt Daudt Speaker Melissa Hortman Senate Majority Leader Paul Gazelka Majority Leader Ryan Winkler Senator Minority Leader Susan Kent Dear State Leaders: We are jointly and urgently calling upon you to act quickly toward an agreement that will provide immediate economic relief for our small businesses and communities. Rochester and Olmsted County’s business and service sector has been hit due to the pandemic, in a similar fashion to other communities around the state. The entities signed below have come together to work jointly since the pandemic in a local, coordinated effort titled “Rochester Ready” to ensure a safe and resilient recovery for the area. This unique public- private partnership group has assisted and communicate with local businesses and the community. We encourage you to also come together as state leaders during this extremely challenging and dynamic time to assist communities and businesses in need. Local units of governments in our area have thoughtfully and quickly distributed funding received through the Coronavirus Relief Fund (CRF), but much of the programs and assistance provided through that funding will expire at the end of the year. It is important that additional assistance continue into 2021, as the impacts of the pandemic will continue as well. Immediate, additional assistance for small businesses that have been impacted by the pandemic and an extension of the unemployment insurance program is critically needed in our community and for the state’s economy. Sincerely, -City of Rochester -Mayo Clinic -Destination Medical Center (DMC) -Olmsted County -Diversity Council -Rochester Area Chamber of Commerce -The Greater Rochester Convention and Visitors Bureau -Rochester Area Economic Development, Inc.

    March 17th, 2020 The Honorable Melissa Hortman Speaker of the Minnesota House of Representatives The Honorable Kurt Daudt, Minority Leader of the Minnesota House of Representatives The Honorable Paul Gazelka Majority Leader of the Minnesota Senate The Honorable Susan Kent Minority Leader of the Minnesota Senate CC: Governor Tim Walz, Commissioner Jodi Harpstead Dear legislative leaders, The current pandemic crisis facing Minnesota shows us that we are all vulnerable to threats to our health and safety. No matter where we come from or what we look like, all Minnesotans want to feel safe, get the care we need, and be able to thrive. Yet our state and nation are facing an unprecedented crisis that threatens the health and safety of us all. Minnesotans who rely on basic and essential supports, like child care, health care, mental health care, and other support services administered by the Department of Human Services (DHS) are especially vulnerable during this crisis. On March 16, the Legislature passed COVID-19 emergency funding, shoring up our health care systems and institutions, but failed to pass legislation that would allow the state to take the emergency measures needed to keep all Minnesotans safe. As a broad-based group of advocacy organizations and providers from across Minnesota we urge policymakers to reconvene Wednesday, March 18 to take action that will better ensure our friends, family members, and neighbors who depend on safety net supports can weather this crisis. A wide range of basic critical policy areas administered by DHS are impacted: child care, mental health services, services for persons with disabilities and older adults, health care (Medical Assistance and MinnesotaCare), economic assistance, housing support, children’s services, supports for vulnerable populations, and the direct care and treatment system.

Due to this inherent link with masculinity, American women were kept from participating in sports to protect their feminine nature. As the years passed of continuous oppression, only a small handful of women were able to fight back and make a name for themselves as prominent and successful athletes. To combat the larger issue of gender discrimination in America, a women’s movement was launched in the 1960s and 1970s.

When parties can resolve disputes without burdening the already overloaded court, the bench is more available for those who need that deeper attention. Although we certainly argue our fair share of Legal Aid cases in court, there’s a lot we can do before we set foot in a courtroom to help parties come to terms. There is much a good lawyer can do to keep a client out of court. It may be a matter of clearing up an administrative error or misunderstanding. For example, sometimes an agency makes a mistake and — while it might seem like a simple paperwork problem at first — we find a systemic problem with a harsh effect on hundreds of people’s lives. In these cases, one person who stands up and says “No, that’s not an acceptable way to treat me,” can make a our mission difference for many others.

    P.O. Box 14720 Minneapolis, MN 55414 T: (651) 645-4097 www.aclu-mn.org @aclumn Senator Paul Gazelka Representative Melissa Hortman Senate Majority Leader Speaker of the House Senator Susan Kent Representative Ryan Winkler Senate Minority Leader House Majority Leader Representative Kurt Daudt House Minority Leader July 30, 2020 Dear Members of the Minnesota Legislature, In May of this year, we wrote to you urging you to address the inequitable and unsafe manner in which remote learning was being provided to Minnesota’s students during the ongoing COVID- 19 crisis. We urged specific action to ensure adequate and uniform privacy protections are in place to protect students engaged in remote learning. Today, in light of Governor Walz’s announcement that distance learning will be recommended in part or in full for districts facing ongoing COVID-19 impacts, we renew our call for student data privacy protections. There is growing bipartisan consensus around the need for protecting the privacy of student data. However, Minnesota still has yet to bring its laws around digital privacy into the 21st century. With the prospect of a portion Minnesota’s students returning to school remotely this fall, the need to address this lag in Minnesota’s laws is more critical than ever. Without action, students are left vulnerable, as many of the technologies needed for remote learning, including hardware, software, internet services, and educational learning platforms, are capable of collecting massive amounts of private, personal information on students and/or spying on students using surveillance technologies. Students should never be required to surrender their privacy or consent to being spied upon as a condition of receiving a constitutionally guaranteed education, and that principle holds especially true during the COVID-19 crisis, when remote learning may be the only option.
