Court File No.____________ Myron Frans in his Official Capacity as Commissioner of Management and Budget as a agency of the Executive Branch of the State of Minnesota; Minnesota House of Representatives Budget and Accounting Office, and Minnesota Senate Fiscal Services Department, Respondents. PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS INTRODUCTION The Petitioner Association for Government Accountability, a government watch-dog association, seeks an order from this Court to direct the Commissioner of Management and Budget to pay the Minnesota state legislators their respective salaries of $45,000 as prescribed by the Legislative Salary Council, mandated by the Minnesota Constitution. The Minnesota House of Representatives Budget and Accounting Office, and Minnesota Senate Fiscal Services Department are interested parties since the moneys for salaries are paid through these legislative departments. 62-CV-17-3396 Filed in Second Judicial District Court 6/5/2017 12:23:54 PM Ramsey County, MN During last year’s election, a state constitutional amendment was enacted that created a Legislative Salary Council which established the base salary of state legislators at $45,000, effective on July 1, 2017. Under Minnesota law, the State’s Constitution mandates the funding of constitutional prerogatives of elected officials. Here, the prerogative arises from a constitutional amendment about legislator salaries. Governor Dayton, with his recent line- item veto of funding for the legislative branch of government, brings the issue of funding prerogatives to the forefront and to the brink of a state constitutional crisis.

  • Annual Report 2006
    A N N U A L R E P O R T 2 0 0 6 Touching hearts, healing minds, connecting people. Dear Friend of NAMI-MN: Touching hearts. Healing minds. Connecting people. That’s what NAMI-MN is devoted to. NAMI knows that the stigma surrounding mental illness isolates children and adults whose lives have been touched by mental illness, often leaving them alone, with little hope. Touching hearts. When people call the NAMI office for information, attend an education class or join a support group their hearts are touched by the comforting words of understanding, hope and encouragement. Through learning about mental illness, what services are available, and about how to cope – people are given hope. Hope fuels our spirit. Deb, one of the thousands of people who contact the NAMI office every year wrote to say “thank you so much for responding to our call for help…you have touched my heart.” Healing minds. Recovery is possible, but treatment and supportive services must be available and affordable. NAMI brings information to people about the service system and where to go for help. NAMI informs people of evidence based practices and new research. Advocating at the legislature, through the Mental Health Action Group and to the various state depart- ments, NAMI seeks increased funding for effective services and works to create a seamless and understandable system for both children and adults. Connecting people. After attending NAMI’s new one-day education class for family members held in northern Minnesota, a woman approached the teacher and said “thank you - I thought I was the only one.” Breaking the isolation by bringing people together is powerful.
