Dear Neighbors,
I hope you’ve had a great summer so far! This is my last update until after the election. Whether running or not, legislators cannot use state resources for unsolicited communications close to an election because it might create an unfair advantage. While I won’t be able to send out these updates for a while, you can still follow me on my legislative Facebook page or email me directly. Even when the legislature is not in session, I am working for you.
Share your Input on Prescription Drug Pricing
The DFL-led legislature has been working to control the price of prescription drugs. As a result, the Minnesota Department of Health is now gathering information from Minnesotans about how prescription drug prices impact your health care, your concerns about affordability, and which drugs to focus on for pricing transparency. If you are interested in providing your insights, please complete the Public Input on Prescription Drug Price Transparency in Minnesota form to share your experiences and help guide the Minnesota Department of Health’s ongoing drug price transparency work.
July’s New Laws
On July 1, many new policies and investments we passed at the State Capitol this year took effect. Many of these laws have been worked on for years, and I’m excited to see the positive impact they’ll have on Minnesota. You can read about these new laws and more in this summary of what became effective on July 1.
Accessibility for All at State Parks
Thanks to the dedicated disability justice organizers in our state, all-terrain track chairs are now available at 13 Minnesota State Parks. Track chairs are all-terrain, electric-powered chairs that can be used on designated trails within the park. These chairs can help visitors explore areas of the state parks in new ways, often on trails that are not suitable for regular wheelchairs.
Track chairs are available year-round in some locations, and seasonally in others. To reserve a chair, call the park you plan to visit.
Staying in Touch
Please continue to contact me with your questions, comments, and concerns, or if I can ever be of assistance. The best way to reach me is by email at rep.tina.liebling@house.mn.gov. Please include your postal address so I’ll know you are my constituent. If you call my Capitol office at 651-296-0573 and leave a message, please include your email and street address. Even when the legislature is not in session, I read my email and respond to constituents.
Thank you for allowing me to represent you.
Warmly,
Tina
