GOP lawmakers blast rush last hours of Minnesota session in Bemidji
Two Republican representatives Bruce Nelson and William Dean criticized the swift windup that produced about five billion dollars in appropriations in the final 12 hours. They cited a sprawling 90 page school aid bill and last minute amendments that added funding for a Minnesota law school and vocational schools. They warned of further major items ahead including a $40 million housing program and a semi state activities bill. They urged reform and decried legislative logjams and overuse of ballot rotation studies. The pair spoke during a three day statewide swing ending in Bemidji before a special session announcement expected from Governor Wendell Anderson.
