St. Paul, Minn. — Minnesota lawmakers open the 2006 Legislative session on Wednesday. We wanted to take a different look at the upcoming session, so we talked with two lawmakers from the 2020 Caucus, Republican Sen. Geoff Michel and DFL Rep. Diana Loeffler. That bipartisan caucus formed last year to focus on issues the state will face as its demographics change in coming years.
