When the Minnesota Legislature reconvenes in January, Republicans and Democrats will face a different balance of power in the state House of Representatives. With a tie in the House, Republicans see an opportunity to potentially roll back some recently-passed laws. State Rep. Chris Swedzinski and Sen. Gary Dahms met with residents to discuss the upcoming session, where they emphasized the need for Republicans to work quickly to make changes to family medical leave and earned sick and safe time requirements. Additionally, they discussed the unique situation in the Senate, including potential issues with a senator facing criminal charges. The lawmakers also addressed concerns about federal funding cuts under the new Trump administration. Overall, they emphasized the importance of businesses standing together to navigate potential changes in state legislation. The upcoming legislative session will be a critical time for Republicans to negotiate changes to current laws and advocate for common-sense solutions.
