Hortman statement on status of negotiations with Demuth
Saint Paul, Minn. – DFL Speaker-designate Melissa Hortman issued the following statement on the status of negotiations with Rep. Lisa Demuth.
“I was at the Capitol ready to negotiate at 9:00 AM this morning, but Representative Demuth refused to meet with me. I’ll be at the Capitol ready to negotiate at 9:00 AM tomorrow as well, and I hope she will join me.
“The voters delivered a Minnesota House of Representatives where neither party has a majority. The only way the Minnesota House will function is if we work together. Democrats are asking Republicans for something very simple: to honor the will of the voters in Shakopee and statewide.”
“Instead of spending even more time and money on lawsuits initiated by Rep. Harry Niska’s law firm, House Republicans should join us in negotiations to reach a power sharing agreement that honors the will of the voters,” said DFL Floor Leader Jamie Long.
