Session sounds retreat

Posted at 12:01 PM on January 8, 2007 by Mike Mulcahy (1 Comments)

After meeting for a couple days the Legislature is going on a retreat Tuesday.

Prof. Larry Jacobs at the Humphrey Institute is hosting the gathering. He says, "The purpose is to focus the Legislature on the shared challenges facing the entire state. This is first retreat of the entire Legislature."

The topics include: Minnesota's place in the global economy, Minnesota's changing demographics, and technology and the global economy.

A highlight looks to be a lunchtime panel featuring former govs. Wendell Anderson, Al Quie and
Arne Carlson along with former Rep. Martin Sabo (who was also speaker of the Minnesota House before he went to Washington).

Just in case you were wondering where your legislator is tomorrow.

Well... just as long as they come back promptly and introduce more bills for my team!
