Uncertainty theme marks 69th Minnesota legislative session
ST. PAUL AP Uncertainty or caution may guide the 69th regular session of the Minnesota Legislature convening in 1975. Senate Majority Leader Nicholas Coleman says lawmakers will chew their food more slowly and pass fewer bills. He notes gains from 1973 and 1974, including minimum wage, no fault insurance, public employee bargaining, and the ban on corporate farms, with 42 freshmen in the DFL House and 10 first term Republicans. Coleman hopes not to abandon landmark social legislation, while money remains a prime concern as the surplus grows from 301 million to 395 million. A possible middle income tax break is discussed.
