ST. PAUL, MINN. – It looks like there will be another special session probably next week, to give the Minnesota Legislature another chance to weigh-in on a likely extension of Governor Tim Walz’s COVID emergency powers. The governor say he’s looking at July 10.
The first special session adjourned 10 days ago with no agreement on police reform, a bonding bill and other issues. House Democratic Majority Leader Ryan Winkler says prospects for a deal before the next special session begins will be challenging but he says lawmakers are working hard to bring people to the table.
He says, “We don’t want to quit and go home and have nothing to show for our work. That is not what any of us were hired to do.”
