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.

We work to protect Minnesota’s health and water by making systemic change. We educate the public, develop grassroots citizen leaders and mobilize our members to get involved in policy decisions. This is a comprehensive scorecard for the 2015 legislative session and the special session that was held in June. Clean Water Action’s Legislative Scorecard provides a permanent record that scores every Minnesota state legislator on their votes that affect the issues of clean, renewable energy, water quality, and toxics in our environment. These were the primary areas of focus for Clean Water Action this year.

2013 Compensation Council Recommendations
Legislative Coordinating Commission 72 State Office Building St. Paul, MN 55155-1201 (651) 296-9002 TDD (651) 296-9896 COMPENSATION COUNCIL March 11, 2013 The Honorable Paul Thissen Speaker of the House of Representatives The Honorable Sandy Pappas President of the Senate Dear Mister Speaker and Madam President: In accordance with the duties assigned to it by Minnesota Statutes, section 15A.082, the Minnesota Compensation Council held four hearings, received testimony from interested parties, and engaged in extended discussions about salaries for Minnesota’s elected state officials. Background The Compensation Council made specific note of the recent history of salaries of the governor and legislators. The 2005 Council noted that when the governor’s salary was increased in 1998, our governor’s salary was ranked sixth in the nation. Currently that salary, now unchanged in 15 years, is ranked 32nd. We are not saying that we are competing nationally for our governors, for we recognize this is a political office. The point is that other states have recognized the value of this office in managing a multibillion dollar enterprise and, as a result, these other states have increased the salary paid for those serving in these critical positions. Although salaries of the members of the judiciary have been increased more regularly than constitutional officers and legislators, they have not received increases in five years. A study conducted for the Minnesota District Judges Association found that: • Most Minnesota judges are paid below the national average; • District court judges earn 13%—22% less than the county attorneys who argue cases in their courts; 2 • District court judges are paid only 8% more than new associates at the top ten law firms in the Twin Cities.
