  • 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. National Presidential Election Results Electoral Votes Needed to Win: 270 *Remaining: 16 Trump (R) Electoral Votes 290 Popular Vote 60,375,961 Clinton (D) Electoral Votes 232 Popular Vote 61,047,207 Minnesota Clinton (D) percent 46.9% votes 1,366,676 Trump (R) percent 45.4% votes 1,322,891 The race for the White House defied the polls and expectations as Donald Trump won more than the needed 270 votes in the electoral college while Hillary Clinton narrowly won the popular vote.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • May 11, 2021 Sent Electronically Sen. Eric Pratt Rep. Mohamud Noor Sen
    May 11, 2021 Sent Electronically Sen. Eric Pratt Rep. Mohamud Noor Sen. Jason Rarick Rep. Rob Ecklund Sen. Rich Draheim Rep. Liz Olson Sen. Karin Housley Rep. Rod Hamilton Sen. Kent Eken Rep. Kaela Berg Dear Chair Pratt, Chair Noor and members of the Jobs/Labor Conference Committee: Thank you taking public testimony last week and allowing the Minnesota Hospital Association an opportunity to share our opposition to Article 12 in the House bill mandating paid emergency leave for essential workers. Hospitals and health systems in MN have taken significant steps since the beginning of the pandemic to support their front line caregivers and health care heroes and this unfunded mandate will impose significant hardships for the vast majority of Minnesota hospitals and health systems. So, why is this provision so bad for hospitals and health systems? 1) The number of essential workers that hospitals and health systems employ is a very high percentage of our workforce given the nature of services we provide. 2) This 160-hours of paid leave is a costly benefit above what hospitals have already provided for their employees. Based on statewide hospital payroll amounts, and the $511 per day cap in the bill, this would cost hospitals up to $740 million if you assume all eligible employees were to claim this benefit. Even if only 50% of employees use the benefit, that is still $370 million. 3) The federal government provided funding to pay for a similar paid leave benefit, but ONLY for those employers who were impacted by the March 18, 2020 federal Families First Coronavirus Response Act, employers who were either government entities, or employers with less than 500 employees.

  • Obama, Klobuchar Win in Minnesota, GOP Loses Seats in Legislature, Photo ID Amendment Passes, Marriage Amendment Fails
    polit ics.mn http://politics.mn/2012/11/05/politics-mn-election-day-predictions-obama-wins-minnesota-big-victory-by- klobuchar-gop-loses-seats-in-the-minnesota-legislature-photo-id-passes-marriage-amendment-fails/ Predictions: Obama, Klobuchar Win in Minnesota, GOP Loses Seats in Legislature, Photo ID Amendment Passes, Marriage Amendment Fails I don’t think I’ve ever I’ve seen an election cycle in Minnesota where so many pundits are confident on some races, while also shrugging their shoulders with a dazed look on their faces about the down ballot races. You don’t have to be a political scientist to predict Tuesday’s election will be based on turnout. But because of a blow-out U.S. Senate race and two controversial constitutional amendments appearing on the ballot, election night will be an unpredictable night for control of the Minnesota Legislature. I’ve talked with GOP and DFL operatives and below are my predictions for Election Day. President President Barack Obama (D) vs. Mitt Romney (GOP) – Winner: President Obama will win Minnesota. My prediction is President Obama will win Minnesota by more than 5 points, but less than 8 points. I also believe President Obama will win re- election, by collecting 280 to 310 Electoral Votes. As I noted yesterday, Minnesota presented a real opportunity for the Romney campaign and resources should have been spent here weeks ago. But Romney’s campaign has not put the substantive resources needed into Minnesota to make the race more competitive and Ryan’s vanity stop yesterday won’t put Minnesota in the win column for Romney.
