Dear neighbors,
The 2020 legislative session adjourned just over a week ago. We came together to pass some needed legislation this year, but there’s more work to be done to build a better future for all Minnesotans – through the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond. I hope you’ll join Rep. Jim Davnie, Sen. Patricia Torres Ray, and me at an upcoming virtual town hall to discuss what happened this year and what we’ll be focusing on in the days and weeks ahead.
Our virtual town hall will take place via Facebook Live this Thursday, May 28 from 6:30 to 8 p.m. If you would like to join us, please visit Rep. Davnie’s Facebook page when the event begins. Please share any questions or comments that you’d like us to address during the town hall via email. You can contact me at rep.jean.wagenius@house.mn.
Stay Safe MN
Governor Walz recently outlined the next steps in his Stay Safe Plan, including a plan to begin limited outdoor dining at restaurants and bars. Starting June 1, restaurants and bars will be able to serve socially distanced outdoor meals to 50 or fewer customers at a time. The governor also announced that salons and barbershops will be allowed to reopen and operate at 25 percent occupancy. This measured approach aims to protect customers and workers while allowing Minnesotans to support their local businesses.
All customers will be strongly encouraged or required to wear masks, make reservations, and follow social distancing practices to keep themselves, other customers, and employees safe. Please keep doing your part to protect others and make this gradual reopening process a success. More information about what the various phases of the Stay Safe Plan mean for you, your family, and your workplace is available here.
Please take care of yourself and your family.
Sincerely,
Jean Wagenius
State Representative
