Politics Friday: Newly elected lawmakers reflect on their first legislative session
Update: 2025-02-28
Description
State lawmakers have less than three months to adopt a state budget for this legislative session — it’s a must-do item this year.
Many Capitol veterans know to expect a late-session pileup of decisions, but what do the newcomers think about the inevitable rush to the finish line?
MPR News politics editor Brian Bakst talked with two freshmen representatives about their first legislative session, its delayed start and the time crunch to pass bills in the coming months.
The program also featured the latest from the Office of the Minnesota State Auditor. Two-term State Auditor Julie Blaha joined the conversation to share the ongoings from her office and what she needs from the Legislature this year.
