NEWS RELEASE

Statement from Speaker of the House Kurt Zellers on Ramsey County Court Decision: Governor Dayton Executive Order Unconstitutional


Today’s decision from Ramsey County Judge Dale Lindman is a victory for child care providers and small, independent businesses in Minnesota. It affirms what we have told Governor Dayton since he first called for the unconstitutional union election of child care providers: lawmaking is a function solely entrusted to the Minnesota Legislature. Governor Mark Dayton violated the constitutional separation of powers in calling for a union election of child care providers at the bequest of AFSCME and SEIU. I sincerely thank and congratulate the child care providers who bravely stood up to the unconstitutional overreach of Governor Mark Dayton and his union cronies. Their courage and fight will help protect small businesses in Minnesota from the threat of forced, unilateral unionization in the future.
