April 1, 2009: Legislative Report #44

Moreover, and Today There are 25

With 46 days, remaining in the current Legislative session, and another 25 bills introduced, bringing the total for the year to 2,269. Have you contacted your legislative representative to share your opinion? Click the “links” tab to the left and under “government websites”, you can locate the Minnesota House and Senate. You are paying for all the cost of government. Take advantage of the state appropriations taken from your family budget,  and let State Capital leadership know who you are.

An example of today’s bills: 

HF 2246 authored by, Roger Reinert (DFL) District: 07B, takes $500,000.00 per year from the newly created constitutional Parks and Trails fund, and then provides grants to Twin Cities units of government. The funds are for new or improving existing dog parks. So now, all the out-state folks in Minnesota can come to the twin cities and walk your dog in our new parks. Sounds like a great investment for out state taxpayers.
