There was confidence, and seorn, in his voice: "I should say not; ours is a Packard — and it's got six." That was sufficient to satisfy his inquisitors. A six-cylinder Packard was patrician in price, appearance and equipment. Its name was one of standing in the social and commercial world. The possession of such a car by the father of the youngster clearly established his right to a place of prominence among these juvenile elite. For be it known, that was the issue in the present controversy. This boy was the latest arrival at camp and the others had been in some doubt as to how to receive him. Ac cordingly, they had proceeded to take his measure, using the only in fallible standard. Young John Percival Lane began the examination with deft indirect ness. "Pa sold our 1910 Peerless," he remarked, apropos of nothing ia particular. "Didn't it run " inquired George Thomas, whose slowness of wit had not enabled him to grasp the real situation.

The idea behind the pro­ gram was to give one hundred and twenty Minnesota high school juniors and seniors the opportunity to see Minnesota government in operation. With a grant from the Minnesota Bicentennial Commission and the Minnesota Government Learning Center, URBAN CONCERNS WORKSHOPS INC. took six groups of twenty students to the Minnesota Capitol during the 1976 Legislative Session. The students had the opportunity to observe the Legislature in opera­ tion for one week, meet with state elected officials, Congressmen, Legislators, lobbyists, reporters, and legislative staff members. Representatives of both political parties talked with the stu­ dents and mock precinct caucuses were conducted. Each student also had the chance to visit with his or her legislator. With the success of the 1976 program, URBAN CONCERNS decided to continue the program even after the Bicentennial Celebration was over. Funded by the Minnesota Government Learning Center and individual contributors, the 1977 program was expanded. Even though the name remains PROJECT 120, one hundred and sixty Minne­ sota high school juniors and seniors will go to the Capitol in 1977. Instead of six weeks the program will run eight. More emphasis will be placed on what the students can do when they return home.

  • Inside the Minnesota Senate
    Inside the Minnesota Senate Frequently Asked Questions This booklet was prepared by the staff of the Secretary of the Senate as a response to the many questions from Senate staff and from the public regarding internal operations of the Minnesota Senate. We hope that it will be a valuable source of information for those who wish to have a better understanding of how the laws of Minnesota are made. Your suggestions for making this booklet more useful and complete are welcome. Cal R. Ludeman Secretary of the Senate Updated February 2019 This document can be made available in alternative formats. To make a request, please call (voice) 651-296-0504 or toll free 1-888-234-1112. 1 1. What is the state Legislature and what is its purpose? There are three branches of state government: the executive, the judicial and the legislative. In Minnesota, the legislative branch consists of two bodies with members elected by the citizens of the state. These two bodies are called the Senate and the House of Representatives. Upon election, each Senator and Representative must take an oath to support the Constitution of the United States, the Constitution of this state, and to discharge faithfully the duties of the office to the best of the member’s judgment and ability. These duties include the consideration and passage of laws that affect all of us. Among other things, laws passed by the Legislature provide for education, protect our individual freedoms, regulate commerce, provide for the welfare of those in need, establish and maintain our system of highways, and attempt to create a system of taxation that is fair and equitable.

He currently operates the annual Tennessee Valley Hunting and Fishing Expo, which draws more than 20,000 attendees each year. In 2014, Lt. Gov. Ainsworth felt the call to serve his community through elected office and won a seat in the Alabama House of Representatives, where he was a champion of public education, farming, and family values issues. Keeping a self-imposed legislative term limit promise, Ainsworth declared his candidacy for lieutenant governor in 2018 and received the most votes of any candidate for constitutional office on the general election ballot. Ainsworth, who is committed to providing quality public education to Alabama’s schoolchildren, is a strong supporter of the state’s nationally-recognized “First Class” prekindergarten program, which provides young learners with the skills and foundational knowledge necessary to excel in their K – 12 education. Focusing his efforts as lieutenant governor on improving workforce development so that Alabamians may fill and retain long-lasting, well-paying, 21st Century jobs, he also works to promote policies that allow both new and existing industries to expand in Alabama. Ainsworth was elected as national chairman of the Aerospace States Association and is a member of the Alabama Workforce Council.

SAINT PAUL, February, 1877. MINNEAPOLIS: JOHNSON & SMITH, PRINT. PREFACE. In present\l1g these Memoirs I do so not without some hesitation. The labor of collecting the material and writing out the sketches is far greater than would seem to one not familiar with work of this character, and, indeed, it has greatly exceeded the expectations of the writer. I was fairly in the middle ofit and must go on, ere I was aware ofits magnitude. The Legislature had been in session almost two weeks before I was encouraged to undertake the enterprise. Thus it will be ~een to what extremity my time has been circumscribed. The work, it will be observed, contains two hundred of these epitomized biographies, and a glance through its pages will explain the large amount of writing it contains. With few exceptions the parties have granted me interviews, and kindly an~wered my interrogatories, thus supplying me orally with reliable data and such other facts as were fresh in their memories. For my personal remarks, ofcourse, I have had to depend upon my own knowledge of the individual, and upon information obtained from indirect sources.

The Minnesota Constitution, Article IV, section 9, and Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 15A.0825 establishes the Legislative Salary Council (Council) whose responsibility is to prescribe the salaries of Minnesota state legislators by March 31st of each odd-numbered year. The Council has held three meetings and considered all forms of legislative compensation, the budget forecast, and an extensive amount of other data and analysis, as reflected in the attached report. Based on our consideration of these materials and our extended discussion, the Legislative Salary Council prescribes that salaries of Minnesota senators and representatives be set at $48,250, effective July 1, 2021. Our report provides detail regarding our process, the data and reports that we considered, and the testimony that we received in the course of our work. I want to thank staff who presented invaluable information to the Council from the House of Representatives, the Department of Administration, Minnesota Management and Budget, and the Legislative Reference Library.
