  • To a Letter the Caucus Issued
    February 1, 2019 Dear DFL Colleagues, On February 28th, during our Joint Convention, we will select four new members to the University of Minnesota Board of Regents. ⅓ of the board membership is significant. We’ll have an opportunity to elect the most diverse Board in the history of the University and we recommend that our DFL joint Caucus unite around the opportunity to elect four people of color as University of MN Regents this term. As elected officials representing Indigenous communities and communities of color, we are concerned that the University of Minnesota has made little or no progress towards meeting the goals of the resolution adopted in 2016 to improve the retention and recruitment of underrepresented students. The University has not met its goals of addressing persistent graduation gaps and improving its campus climate for students of color and Indigenous students. We believe that adding more diversity to the Board of Regents will be a critical step towards fulfilling these goals and addressing the persistent disparities affecting the University of Minnesota. We need a more robust effort recruiting, retaining, and graduating more professionals in every program at the U. We can't afford the current status quo. The POCI Caucus, after carefully reviewing the applicant’s resumes and their background, has decided to support the election of the following candidates for Regents: Student Regent: Mike Kenyana Fifth District Regent: Peggy Lucas At Large Regents: Dr. Abdul Omari and Kao Ly Ilean Her. After assessing the composition of the current Board, which was appointed during the last cycle, when NONE of the 12 finalists forwarded to the joint committee were people of color, we concluded that this year’s pool of candidates offered a great opportunity to diversify the Board.

  • Legislative Update
    LEGISLATIVE UPDATE Welcome to the first Child Care Aware Legislative Update of the 2021 legislative session. This narrative update, along with our Bill Tracker, will be posted each Tuesday (reflecting activity through the previous Friday) on the Child Care Aware of Minnesota website. Each week we will provide a brief overview of bills that have been introduced, action that has been taken at the committee level or on the floor, and any other pertinent news related to early care and education and school-age care issues. If you have additions to recommend to the bill tracker, please contact Ann McCully. OVERVIEW The Legislature convened on Tuesday, January 5 and is off to a quick start. There is no question that the state’s response to the impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic is the primary issue facing legislators as they begin this session. This also a budget year to set the state’s budget for July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2023, and while the economic picture has improved since the initial budget forecast last spring, there is still a projected budget deficit in the coming years, leading to some tough decisions ahead. More information about the budget projections can be found on the State Office of Management and Budget website. COMMITTEE STRUCTURE A new, two-year legislative session brings new members, new committees, and new committee assignments. While early care and education issues may show up in many places during the process, below are a few of the key committees that we will be watching. We encourage you to follow them as well! To find out about committee upcoming committee hearings and topics, visit the Minnesota State Legislature combined calendar page.

  • Minnesota House of Representatives Minnesota State Senate
    Minnesota Minnesota House of State Representatives Senate Commissioner Laura Bishop Minnesota Pollution Control Agency 520 Lafayette Road North St. Paul, MN 55155-4194 Via email: [email protected] July 29, 2020 Dear Ms. Bishop, We write as members of the House and Senate Climate Action caucuses to request that the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (PCA) deny issuance of the agency's 401 Water Quality Certification for the proposed Enbridge Line 3 Pipeline expansion. The water quality certification would directly counteract many of the initiatives and goals the PCA has adopted. Denying this certification is not only possible, it is the only acceptable outcome for this project. I. The construction and operation of the Line 3 expansion will unacceptably degrade Minnesota’s waters and wetlands. 1. This Line 3 expansion cannot meet Minnesota’s water quality standards. Nearly half of the proposed 340-mile pipeline route through Minnesota will be along a new corridor. The pipeline will make 227 crossings of our state’s most pristine waters and wild rice beds, and impact over 11,000 acres of wetlands. Tar sands oil is unique in comparison to other forms of crude. It sinks in water, making it virtually impossible to entirely remove once leaked. But even if the pipeline never leaks, the very construction and operation of the pipeline will unacceptably degrade Minnesota’s best waters. The Preliminary Anti-Degradation Determination for 401 Certification prepared by the PCA finds that degradation of Minnesota’s high quality waters is “unavoidable”, will create “physical alteration to surface waters,” and will create “functional loss to streams...resulting from open trench crossing methods and permanent impacts to riparian buffers”.

  • Aq-Rule4-10Z4 Precisely the Type of Scenario the Legislature Envisioned When the Administrative Procedures Act Was Adopted
    Jamie Long Attachment We, the 58 undersigned members of the Minnesota Legislature, offer the following comments in support of the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency’s Proposed Rules Adopting Vehicle Greenhouse Gas Emissions Standards—Clean Cars Minnesota, Minnesota Rules, chapter 7023. We appreciate the opportunity to comment in these proceedings and encourage adoption of the rules as necessary and reasonable, and commensurate with the public interest and Minnesota law. Clean Cars Minnesota has been the subject of significant public interest and discussion. As legislators, we have participated in robust ongoing dialogue regarding the merits of the proposed rules with our constituents, stakeholders, and each other. This careful and deliberate scrutiny has led us to the conclusion that the proposed rules will benefit Minnesotans and should be adopted. Statutory Authority and Legislative Intent As current members of the legislative branch, we are uniquely positioned to offer our perspective on the authority and responsibilities granted to the agency by the Legislature specific to vehicle emissions as well as the agency’s general rulemaking authority. The powers and responsibilities of the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) are described in Minnesota Statutes Chapter 116. Of particular relevance to the proposed rules, Section 116.07, Subdivision 2, states “the agency shall also adopt standards of air quality, including maximum allowable standards of emission of air contaminants from motor vehicles…”. This provision demonstrates in very specific terms the Legislature’s intent that MPCA is expected to adopt standards of the exact type now proposed by the agency. This language was adopted in 1967, which means that the Minnesota House and Senate have had 54 regular sessions in which we could have reconsidered and agreed upon a repeal or amendment of this section of law.

  • Senate File 959 (EAB Provisions, Senate/House Environment
    MEMORANDUM May 6, 2021 Senator Bill Ingebrigtsen Representative Rick Hansen Senator Carrie Ruud Representative Ami Wazlawik Senator Justin Eichorn Representative Kelly Morrison Senator David Tomassoni Representative Peter Fischer Senator Torrey Westrom Representative Josh Heintzeman Dear Members of the Environment and Natural Resources Conference Committee (SF959): The Partnership on Waste and Energy (Partnership) is a Joint Powers Board of Hennepin, Ramsey and Washington counties. We seek to end waste, promote renewable energy and enhance the health and resiliency of communities we serve while advancing equity and responding to the challenges of a changing climate. In a separate letter addressed to the committee, the Partnership included support for certain Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) provisions amidst comments on several other provisions in the Senate and House omnibus bills currently being deliberated in the committee. We would like to call specific attention to these EAB provisions and emphasize our strong support. EAB is now established in at least 27 Minnesota counties and continues to spread. Communities are removing and replacing ash trees as quickly as funding will allow to slow the spread of EAB. The challenge of properly managing the surge of waste wood created as we battle EAB is one of the urgent concerns of the Partnership. State law prohibits landfilling wood waste. Wood waste cannot be sent to MSW waste-to-energy facilities. Open burning, even if it were allowed, creates fire dangers and poor air quality, adversely impacting human health. The Partnership urges the conferees to adopt the following provisions to increase efforts to slow the spread of EAB and slow the rate of increase of wood waste.
