Tork




Hello from the State Capitol,

 

Despite being prevented from duly organizing, I and all other Minnesota House Republicans continue to show up for work every day and do what is expected of us at the Capitol.

 

In spite of this impasse, Republicans remain hard at work. We are doing what we can to keep the train on the tracks and be prepared to conduct official House operations.

 

For example, I met recently with local township officials in St. Paul to discuss their priorities and concerns. I’m also hearing from county officials who are concerned about the governor’s budget proposal. Governor Walz’s plan puts a heavy burden on counties as it would shift numerous expenses from the state to the county level, which some estimates show could cost between $700,000 to $800,000.

 

In addition, as chair of the House Ways and Means Committee, I’ve been meeting with chairs of each finance committee to discuss budget proposals that will ultimately become part of end-of-session negotiations.

 

We may not be allowed to have floor sessions or official committee hearings, but that isn’t stopping us from doing the work that at some point will need to be done. It’s work our constituents expect us to do, and it’s work that House Republicans are eager to do.

 

Have a good weekend,

 

Paul
