Ron Shimanski :: Minnesota House of Representatives
| We are facing some big decisions this legislative session and your input on a variety of topics would be very helpful. The DFL has held listening sessions around the state in regional centers and in the Metro area; I have attended two of them. Now, Senator Dille and I would like to hear from the people in our own district. That is why we are hosting a series of town hall meetings and I am distributing a legislative survey throughout District 18A. The surveys will be inserted into the Hutchinson Leader Shopper March 1. You also may log on to www.house/mn.18A if you prefer completing the survey online. As for the town hall meetings, I have four of them scheduled in a joint effort with Sen. Steve Dille. Here is the schedule: Friday, March 6 8 a.m., Dassel City Hall (460 Third St.) 1 p.m., Winsted City Hall (201 First St. N.) 4 p.m., Glencoe Public Library - Community Meeting Room (719 13th St. E.) Tuesday, March 17 6 p.m., Ridgewater College student commons (2 Century Ave. S.E., Hutchinson) I also have some good news to pass along from a committee meeting on Thursday: A bill I authored to aid the McLeod West school district’s consolidation plan received unanimous support. The bill will ease the transition as McLeod West consolidates with three neighboring districts (Glencoe-Silver Lake, Gibbon-Winthrop-Fairfax, and Buffalo Lake-Hector). This is a time-sensitive matter and the committee chair made a point of expressing the urgency to other members. Superintendents Boyer and Sonju provided great testimony to support the bill and now it is one step closer to passing the House. I will update you as this bill (HF1040) progresses. Until next time, Ron |
