Minnesota Farmer’s Union Director of Government Relations Stu Lourey says this year’s legislative session has been anything but normal. The Senate was split 50-50 and the two parties worked under a power-sharing agreement. After this past week’s special election, the DFL has a one-vote majority. The House is still waiting for a quorum. The Minnesota Supreme Court ruled on what constitutes a quorum, but Lourey says legislators are still fighting over an agreement “that would lead to the Democrats returning to the State Capitol and granting that quorum that would allow them to start their business.”
