The chaotic and unproductive 2021 session
By:   [], Minnesota Reformer
Date: None

It was supposed to be one of the most consequential legislative sessions in nearly a decade.

But after debating tax hikes, police reform, COVID-19 precautions, the governor’s executive powers, vehicle emissions standards, marijuana legalization, voter ID, rent control, abortion clinic licensing and other thorny political issues, lawmakers adjourned with only a “numbers only” budget agreement that still needs to be crafted and passed by June 30.

This week, senior political reporter Ricardo Lopez runs down the inflection points of the four-and-a-half month-long session and its anti-climactic finish.
