Warroad Heritage Center news

With today being the beginning of April, it also marks the time when a brand new edition of the Warroad Heritage Center newsletter is sent out electronically and also by hand. Warroad Heritage Center director Brady Swanson was the guest on Tuesday’s “Community Conversation” program and said he had some help with this issue.

Swanson says that it’s a “win-win” for both the Heritage Center and the student helper.

He also said that the museum is always looking for volunteers nor matter what the job is.

If you’d like to volunteer, stop by the Heritage Center or give them a call.

House Democrats discuss Minnesota House of Representatives

Over the weekend the Minnesota House of Representatives released their budget target which calls for an almost $1.16 billion reduction in General Fund spending. During a press conference on Monday, House DFL speaker Melissa Hortman praised house members on reaching a compromise, and she also talked more on what this agreement means for the rest of the session. 

DFL Floorleader Rep Jamie Long talked more about the compromise, and made it clear that this deal protects DFL priorities for this session, and from past sessions. 

Rep Hortman also highlighted that the House’s budget target does not make any cuts to educational programs in Minnesota. 

Friday is the Legislature’s first deadline, which means that bills must have a hearing in committee to move forward in the legislature.
