  • Results of Elections Attorneys General 1857
    RESULTS OF ELECTIONS OF ATTORNEYS GENERAL 1857 - 2014 ------- ※------- COMPILED BY Douglas A. Hedin Editor, MLHP ------- ※------- (2016) 1 FOREWORD The Office of Attorney General of Minnesota is established by the constitution; its duties are set by the legislature; and its occupant is chosen by the voters. 1 The first question any historian of the office confronts is this: why is the attorney general elected and not appointed by the governor? Those searching for answers to this question will look in vain in the debates of the 1857 constitutional convention. That record is barren because there was a popular assumption that officers of the executive and legislative branches of the new state government would be elected. This expectation was so deeply and widely held that it was not even debated by the delegates. An oblique reference to this sentiment was uttered by Lafayette Emmett, a member of the Democratic wing of the convention, during a debate on whether the judges should be elected: I think that the great principle of an elective Judiciary will meet the hearty concurrence of the people of this State, and it will be entirely unsafe to go before any people in this enlightened age with a Constitution which denies them the right to elect all the officers by whom they are to be governed. 2 Contemporary editorialists were more direct and strident. When the convention convened in St. Paul in July 1857, the Minnesota Republican endorsed an elected judiciary and opposed placing appointment power in the chief executive: The less we have of executive patronage the better.

  • To Chair Dehn Re HF 1941 And
    March 6, 2019 [lightly edited, 3/8/19] Representative Raymond Dehn Chair, House Elections Subcommittee Re: HF 1941; national popular vote for president Dear Representative Dehn: I am Chair of the State Presidential Elections Team at Minnesota Citizens for Clean Elections (MnCCE). I am writing both (i) to express unequivocal support for HR 1941, the Agreement Among the States to Elect the President by the National Popular Vote (the “Interstate Compact”); and (ii) to urge your committee to consider complementary approaches that would advance the ultimate goal of having the national popular vote determine who is elected president. I. Support for HF 1941 Minnesota is well-positioned to move national popular vote forward and possibly overcome partisan hesitation that has slowed progress from the inception of the movement. Some background: National popular vote should be a bipartisan issue. Indeed, for decades, there has been strong bipartisan support for the goal of replacing the Electoral College with direct election of the president by the people. This has included many of the Republican Party’s most esteemed leaders. In Congress, notable supporters of a constitutional amendment, among others, are then-Congressman George H.W. Bush, David Durenberger (twice), Bob Dole (twice), Howard Baker (twice), Lisa Murkowski, and Dan Coats—along with Walter Mondale, Hubert Humphrey, and Wendy Anderson. At the state level, Minnesota’s supporters of the Interstate Compact have included Congressman Tom Emmer, Speaker Kurt Zellers, former Representative and University of Minnesota Regent Laura Brod and Representative Pat Garofalo. HR 1941 stands in the mainstream of the state-level movement that began in 2001—with discussions among legal scholars—and extends to today.

  • 2015 Annual Report a Note from Our Board Chair
    Our River. Our Community. 2015 ANNUAL REPORT A NOTE FROM OUR BOARD CHAIR DEAR FRIENDS, During a recent hike in Patagonia South America, my guide, who spoke little English, asked, “Where are you from in the USA?” “Minnesota” I replied. He shook his head indicating unfamiliarity. A few minutes later he suddenly inquired, “Mississippi River?” “Yes,” I said, “the Mississippi River begins in Minnesota.” This was a powerful reminder that our local Mississippi is one of the world’s great rivers. Back here at home, it’s exciting to see this recognition increasingly take hold. More and more, communities that once turned their back to the river now turn their gaze towards the river’s majestic beauty. Thanks to all of you — Friends of the Mississippi River members, donors volunteers and advocates — who have fueled this river renaissance. Project by project, community by community, we are building momentum for a healthier, more vibrant metro Mississippi River. In 2015: • A record 7,142 people helped restore habitat or learned about the river with FMR. • Ecological restoration progressed on 21 sites totaling a record 1,014 acres. • The upper St. Anthony Falls Lock was closed preventing invasive Asian YOU! carp from progressing upstream.

  • Medicare After the Medicare Modernization Act Senator
    SAINT LOUIS UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF LAW MEDICARE AFTER THE MEDICARE MODERNIZATION ACT SENATOR DAVID DURENBERGER* By adapting the payment structure of America’s private health insurance, Medicare, from its inception, has provided access to a unique healthcare system for elderly and disabled Americans. For several decades, Congress has also used Medicare as a policy tool to contain rising healthcare costs.1 The Medicare Modernization Act (MMA)2 is the latest and, perhaps, the most significant of these cost-containment efforts. In order to understand the role Medicare will play in containing future healthcare costs, it helps to understand how difficult it is to influence behavior in the delivery system. The United States has always enjoyed a healthcare system different from those of all other countries. Therefore, we cannot simply adapt another country’s older, tried-and-true model for our own cost-containment policy. Most Americans choose a job, a health insurance plan, and a doctor; and the insurance and doctor make the rest of the decisions. Accordingly, the doctor-patient relationship is dominated by the physician’s autonomy and is reinforced by the influence physician professional societies have on economics, clinical improvement, and public finance policy.3 For many years, most insurance plans have simply paid for service volume, rather than value, and most physicians have liked it that way.4 Medicare was no different. Even more problematic is the fact that Medicare (with one brief exception in the short-lived Medicare Catastrophic Act of * Chair of the National Institute of Health Policy; former U.S. senior senator from Minnesota.
