Legislative Update from Rep. Jeff Backer

Thursday, February 14, 2019

Dear Neighbors,

Please take a moment to watch the two videos posted below. The first gives an update on the MNLARS boondoggle as well as some background on a DFL bill that locks in cuts for vulnerable Minnesotans.

In the second video, I give my reaction to Governor Walz’s decision on Tuesday to challenge, and once again delay the desperately needed Enbridge Line 3 replacement pipeline. After years of politically motivated delays, Governor Walz is once again siding with environmentalists and putting their interests ahead of the safety of Minnesotans and the environment.

If you are planning to be in St. Paul anytime soon, I encourage you to stop by my legislative office and set up a meeting. It would be great to meet with you!

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any legislative questions, concerns, or ideas. I can be reached on my office number at 651-296-4929 or my cell phone at 701-361-1909. You can also reach via email at rep.jeff.backer@house.mn, or via U.S. Mail at 203 State Office Building, St. Paul, MN 55155.

That’s all for this week, I hope you have a great weekend,

Jeff
