Sen. Goggin’s special session wrap-up
In the late hours of June 30, we completed the final piece of the next state budget. The governor has now signed all the bills, funding is in place, a disastrous shutdown has been avoided, and Gov. Tim Walz’s emergency powers -- for now -- have been canceled. We still need to do more to protect ourselves from another long-term abuse of emergency power, but for now, freedom has been restored.
