Great input from town hall meeting
Dear Neighbor,
I want to thank all the folks who attended the town hall meeting I co-hosted with fellow District 18 legislators Sen. Scott Newman and Rep. Ron Shimanski at Main Street Cafe in Litchfield earlier this week.
The input we received is helpful as we prepare for the 2012 legislative session, which gets underway in January. A big topic of discussion pertained to excessive state regulations and how they put small businesses and local governments in a bind.
We are currently working on a package of reform bills in the Legislature to address these concerns. Our top priorities are to redesign our state to be more friendly toward small businesses and also to make the best use possible of our available tax dollars. Regulatory reform would go a long way toward helping us on each of these fronts and I will pass along details as our reform package begins to take shape.
As co-chair of the Redesign Caucus and as a member of a Reform 2.0 working group, I will remain closely involved with this process and will be sure local voices are heard in St. Paul.
Citizen participation in these efforts is crucial and I welcome your ideas even if you were unable to attend our town hall meeting. Email your thoughts on what the state can do better (or shouldn't be doing at all) to rep.dean.urdahl@house.mn.
Sincerely,
Dean
