Share Your Input with LCCMR
The Legislative-Citizen Commission on Minnesota Resources (LCCMR), a bipartisan group that provides funding recommendations to the legislature, is also seeking input. LCCMR members are working on a plan that will guide efforts to preserve Minnesota’s air, water, land, wildlife, and other natural resources for the next six years. Your feedback will help them develop a plan that reflects Minnesotans’ priorities.
A short, anonymous survey is available here. Please share your thoughts before it closes on Monday, October 28.
House High School Page Program
The House of Representatives High School Page Program is a great opportunity for Minnesota students to see state government in action. Students in the program spend a week at the Capitol and participate in a wide variety of activities, including:
- Individual meetings with state representatives
- A mock committee hearing designed to develop leadership skills and inspire students to think critically about issues confronting our state
- Assisting members and staff during House floor sessions
- Meetings with constitutional officers, judges and court officers, lobbyists, and members of the media
If you know a high school junior interested in state government, please encourage them to apply before the November 21 deadline. More information about the program is available here.
Please feel free to let me know if you have any questions or feedback.
Sincerely,
John Persell
State Representative |
