Legislators and staff took a break from fast food this week, courtesy of the Minnesota Council of Retail Trade Associations (MCRTA). The MCRTA served a fried chicken lunch May 16 and 17 to hundreds of hungry people. The MCRTA is a group of trade associations that represent most of the state's retail businesses.

Minnesota dairy, pork, honey, and other agricultural processing companies contributed taste treats for Agriculture Day at the Capitol, May 18. The legisla­ tive reception, which the Agriculture Committee sponsored, featured Minne­ sota products as taste samples for lawmakers and staff.

People who lease hangars at airports in small cities would not have to pay property taxes if SF46 (House author K. Olson, DFL-Sherburn) becomes law. To qualify for the tax-exemption, individuals must: use hangars to store or repair aircraft; provide aviation goods, services or facilities to an airport or the general public; locate in cities with populations under 50,000; and not lease property the Metropolitan Airports Commission owns.

Proposed changes in state pension plans received the endorsement of the full House May 18 on a vote of 130-1. The pension bill would provide uniform­ ity in all major plans, offer early retire­ ment benefits, develop a level formula, and remove future subsidies for new employees. The bill awaits further action in the Senate. May 19, 1989/SESS/ON WEEKLY 5 As It Happens ... May 11 - 18, 1989
