Bakk, Ecklund bring benefits to North Country Posted David Colburn REGIONAL— As the 2021 special legislative session wrapped up this past week, it was clear that area lawmakers saw plenty to like in the final bills that emerged. “I have a favorite day of the session,” said Sen. Tom Bakk, I-Cook, “the day after we finished when I drive home, because I rarely turn on my radio. “I just spend that time thinking about things. I was thinking about everything that happened during the session, and I actually pulled over and sent (Sen. David) Tomassoni a text and said ‘David, I’m thinking about all of the stuff we got done and I can’t even believe it.’”
