A Minnesota legislator says a lot is riding on finishing the Legislative Session on time.
Representative Jeanne Poppe (DFL) of Austin tells Brownfield farmers, business owners, local governments, and many others depend on lawmakers staying on schedule.
“I have a local school district who has a bond referendum in early June. They want a tax bill. They want to make sure the ag-to-school tax provision is in the tax bill, and that it’s done, signed and in place.”
Poppe puts the odds of the session concluding as scheduled May 22nd at less than 50 percent.
