ST. PAUL – As the beginning of the 2017 legislative session nears, State Rep. Cheryl Youakim (DFL- Hopkins) has announced several opportunities this winter and spring for individuals in St. Louis Park and Hopkins to discuss legislative priorities face-to-face. The first of those meetings will be held January 7, 2017 from 10:30 am-Noon at the Hopkins Library meeting room (22 11th Ave N, Hopkins, MN 55343).
“I appreciate hearing the priorities of our community members, and I encourage anyone interested in the legislative process to attend with questions, comments and concerns,” said Rep. Youakim. “These are casual gatherings, where community members can come and go. Hearing from you helps inform my decision-making at the Capitol.”
“There is added urgency attached to much of the work that remains unfinished from last year, especially in the areas of taxes and transportation,” said Rep. Youakim. “I will continue working to find ways to reach solutions that get the best results for families in our district.”
