Dear neighbors, 

It’s been a busy week at the Minnesota State Capitol. I wanted to update you on a few things.

New OLA Report on Prison Safety

Today, the Office of the Legislative Auditor (OLA) released a report on safety in state correctional facilities. The full report can be found here. The House Corrections and Public Safety Committees held a joint hearing on the report this afternoon.


Affordable Insulin and Voter Privacy

Tonight, I’ll be voting on a bill to ensure Minnesotans have access to affordable insulin and another bill to protect Minnesotans’ privacy in the upcoming presidential primary. The non-partisan House Research summary for the insulin bill can be found here, and the summary for the voter privacy bill can be found here.
