Monday 3/25 Call to Action

Monday

Finally, the special counsel's report has been delivered to Attorney General William Barr.  You can read the letter itself below, but the report itself has not been delivered to Congress.  Sens. Klobuchar, Smith, McCollum and Minnesota Attorney General Ellison have called for full disclosure of the report.  We can thank our Congress-people if they've demanded the report be released publicly, or insist that they do so.

You can also read here a summary of the publicly reported evidence.  6 of Trump's associates, 26 Russians, 3 Russian companies and 2 other people were indicted in the investigation. The public deserves to know the full details of the report..

Gov. Walz has tweaked his budget in response to slower economic growth:
"Walz unveiled his initial budget proposal a month ago, which was based on earlier projections of a $1.5 billion surplus. It included what he called a “fiscally cautious and prudent” cushion of $789 million in anticipation of a weaker economic forecast in late February that cut the surplus to $1 billion. That lower projection prompted him to order changes to preserve a cushion of $562 million and leave the state in a “fiscally solid place” heading into the 2022-23 budget, he said."

Finally, keep an eye on barns collapsing from large amounts of snowfall.

"Ask any Minnesotan: This winter has been a brutal one, but particularly so for dairy farmers like the Hoffmans. The weight of February's record snowfalls caused the roofs of 45 farm buildings across the state to collapse, according to a running list that Lucas Sjostrom, the executive director of the Minnesota Milk Producers Association, is keeping.

"I'm guessing that there are five to 10 more that I don't know about. What happened to these 45 or 50 farms isn't one little thing that ruins a business plan, it's a huge thing that decimates your business plan," Sjostrom says."
