New to the space in 2013 will be a replica of the speaker’s setting in the House Chamber. Complete with desk, flags, gavel and the Abraham Lincoln portrait, the display gives you a feel for what it is like to stand in this position of power. Find out the fascinating history behind the Lincoln portrait and snap a photo to post on Facebook or have as a keepsake. The annual House opinion poll draws the attention of around 10,000 participants and will, once again, be available. Fairgoers can let their opinions be known on a number of state issues such as increasing the state’s minimum wage, legalizing medical marijuana, requiring background checks for those wanting to purchase weapons from private sellers at gun shows and regulating dog and cat breeders. Poll results should be available on the House website Sept. 3, the day after the fair closes. The House of Representatives exhibit will be located in the Education Building on Cosgrove Street just north of Dan Patch Avenue.

  • December 8, 2020 Governor Tim Walz Speaker Melissa Hortman Majority
    December 8, 2020 Governor Tim Walz Minority Leader Kurt Daudt Speaker Melissa Hortman Senate Majority Leader Paul Gazelka Majority Leader Ryan Winkler Senator Minority Leader Susan Kent Dear State Leaders: We are jointly and urgently calling upon you to act quickly toward an agreement that will provide immediate economic relief for our small businesses and communities. Rochester and Olmsted County’s business and service sector has been hit due to the pandemic, in a similar fashion to other communities around the state. The entities signed below have come together to work jointly since the pandemic in a local, coordinated effort titled “Rochester Ready” to ensure a safe and resilient recovery for the area. This unique public- private partnership group has assisted and communicate with local businesses and the community. We encourage you to also come together as state leaders during this extremely challenging and dynamic time to assist communities and businesses in need. Local units of governments in our area have thoughtfully and quickly distributed funding received through the Coronavirus Relief Fund (CRF), but much of the programs and assistance provided through that funding will expire at the end of the year. It is important that additional assistance continue into 2021, as the impacts of the pandemic will continue as well. Immediate, additional assistance for small businesses that have been impacted by the pandemic and an extension of the unemployment insurance program is critically needed in our community and for the state’s economy. Sincerely, -City of Rochester -Mayo Clinic -Destination Medical Center (DMC) -Olmsted County -Diversity Council -Rochester Area Chamber of Commerce -The Greater Rochester Convention and Visitors Bureau -Rochester Area Economic Development, Inc.

  • Action Alert –
    – Action Alert – Contact legislators and urge them to Fix 14 Now! Time is running out. There are only 3 weeks left in the session, but the Legislature still does not appear any closer to reaching a compromise on transportation. The Republicans show no sign of supporting new revenue for transportation, while the Democrats show no sign of accepting a package without new revenue. They have not discussed any compromises on transit funding. So far, the conference committee has met twice—once to review what happened in 2015, and once to look at public-private partnership policy. There has been no public discussion of new revenues for highways or for Corridors of Commerce. With the clock winding down, now is the time when we need you to contact our Highway 14 legislators, legislative leaders and the conference committee members and urge them to FIX 14 NOW! Message Here is a sample email: Dear Legislator, Highway maintenance needs are real and urgent. Expansion of U.S. Highway 14 is needed now for economic growth, safety and quality of life. What is your compromise proposal? What are you willing to offer the other side? How can the House, Senate and Governor WORK TOGETHER to solve this problem? Thank you, and help us to FIX 14 NOW!

Dibble you must use their separate “email form” – see below) or you can contact each legislator individually: House Leadership Speaker Kurt Daudt - [email protected], 651-296-5364 Minority Leader Paul Thissen - [email protected], 651-296-5375 Senate Leadership Majority Leader Tom Bakk – email form, 651- 296-8881 Minority Leader David Hann – email form, 651- 296-1749 Transportation Committee Chairs Sen.
