Serious Negotiations
The Minnesota legislative session is required to end within ten days. At the beginning of the week, legislative leaders announced that they had given themselves a goal of having a broad global agreement on key issues and budget targets by Friday (today). Following such an agreement, conference committees would need to finalize details within their individual bills.
On Tuesday, Senate leadership publicly shared a document that explained its opening offer to the House for a global agreement on key end-of-session issues. In the days since, there have been no other offers or counteroffers that have been made public. Quiet negotiations such as those happening now is typically a sign that the legislative leaders are conducting serious negotiations.

(ABC 6 News) - State Senator Carla Nelson (R-Rochester) has introduced a bill to protect students’ right to a great education at all times.
The new legislation, Senate File 2, removes any governor’s authority to close schools or alter school schedules via executive order. Decisions about opening and closing will be left in the hands of individual school districts moving forward, where local officials have firsthand knowledge of their students’ needs.
“We have to think about what is best for students above all. At this point in the pandemic, there is widespread agreement about the importance of getting students back into the classroom,” said Sen. Nelson. “Our 300 school districts and 100 charter schools are diverse in every way; each district has unique needs and circumstances. The decision on how and when to reopen should not be made from the governor’s office. It should come from local school boards
