News from Rep. Roz Peterson 03-13-2015

Friday, March 13, 2015
Dear Friends,

The pace is picking up considerably at the legislature as we approach the first committee deadline next Friday, March 20. House bills have until the 20th to be acted on favorably and continue through the normal legislative process. Bills not heard by the 20th must receive special approval from the Rules Committee. We started having some of our first Friday committee hearings last week as legislators pack as many bills as possible on agendas in order to meet the first deadline.

Several of my bills have already met the first committee deadline, and remain on track for possible inclusion in an omnibus bill or to possibly get to the House floor later this session.

Survey

Thanks to everyone who has taken time to fill out my 2015 legislative survey. If you haven't yet, please take a few moments to take the survey by clicking here. If you have friends or family in the Burnsville/Lakeville area who reside in our district, please pass it along to them as well so I can hear their thoughts on the issues facing the legislature.

Congrats

I want to wish special congratulations to the Lakeville North Boys Hockey team, who won the Class AA Championship last week, capping off a perfect 31-0 season, defeating Duluth East 3-1. Congratulations to the student athletes, coaches, and parents on an incredible season that's been a source of pride for the Lakeville community.

I also wanted to congratulate the Lakeville North Boys Basketball team on their tremendous season as well. They upset the #3 seed Hopkins in the first round of the state tournament, but were defeated in the next round by Apple Valley. Congrats and best of luck to our neighbors from Apple Valley in the championship game tomorrow night.
