Duluth and St. Louis County DaysDuluth and St. Louis County Days also kicked off this week in downtown St. Paul. Rep. Roger Skraba and I enjoyed seeing so many Rangers and folks from the outlying areas, and that includes local units of government, business, industry and labor organizations. I didn’t have time, but Roger had a go with the Local 49’s excavator simulator (picture below). The simulator is one piece of their career and operating engineer’s pathway training program for high school students. What a great example of our commitment to industry and quality training on the Iron Range! Thanks to all who I had the opportunity to meet and chat with at the event, it was great to see you, as always. The constituent meetings are a highlight to a big week, but the important work of the Legislature was also in full swing. I have tax committee meetings three days a week before noon, and environment & natural resources committee meetings after lunch on Tuesday’s and Thursday’s. Things are starting to pick up speed, and I look forward to having more to share on that soon. If you are looking for one more way to keep up on legislative issues, you can tune in to YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/@MNHouseInfo/videos and watch live video of what’s going on, or past video feed of all our committees as well. Enjoy! |
