SAINT PAUL, MN —State Rep. Rick Hansen (DFL – South Saint Paul) released the following statement following House Republicans blocking action on MNLARS:
“Today, Republicans blocked action on fixing MNLARS. Minnesotans deserve a licensing system that works, and they expect it to be fixed when it doesn’t. Unfortunately, Republicans are obsessively focused on problems while avoiding responsibility and problem solving. A month ago, Governor Dayton alerted legislators to his funding needs and that contract layoff notices would go out March 1st if they weren’t met. People are going to get contract layoff notices tomorrow and the Republicans don’t seem to care. They can blame Governor Dayton all they want, but their inaction today puts the responsibility squarely on them.”
