Demuth fails to show up for Friday negotiation session with Hortman
Saint Paul, Minn. – House DFL Leader Melissa Hortman issued the following statement on the status of negotiations with Republican Leader Lisa Demuth.
“I invited Leader Demuth to negotiate at 9:00 AM this morning and she did not show up. We have an obligation to the people of Minnesota to keep negotiating until we reach an agreement.
“Democrats are asking Republicans to make a commitment now, in writing, to adopt the power-sharing agreement we negotiated if the House returns to a tie, and agree to let all duly elected state representatives serve their terms in office.
“We agree that Republicans would control the House while they have a temporary 67-66 advantage. Republicans have not offered any justification for why they should retain control of the House when the balance of power shifts back to a tie.”
