If you can’t make it Monday evening, I’ll be hosting my ‘Community Coffee Hour’ on Saturday, January 25 at 9:30 a.m. at the Dunn Bros on Galaxie Ave. in Apple Valley. The format is casual, so everyone is welcome to come and go as they please. I’d love to hear directly from you about what your priorities are before session begins.
Climate Action Caucus Update
On Sunday, I attended the Climate Action Caucus’s off-site meeting in West. St. Paul at the Dodge Nature Center. We learned about conservation, mitigation, adaptation and how climate change intersects with our state’s natural resources, in addition to solutions going forward. For more information, you can visit the Climate Action Caucus’s page here.
