Closure of Hutchinson Leader
Friends and Neighbors,
With the Hutchinson Leader closing later this month I am heartbroken for this beloved local outlet and for everyone who has put so much effort into this publication over the years. I remember reading this paper when I was a kid growing up in Hutch. Local newspapers are the first-place people look to see what is happening in their communities and to focus on local events that are much more impactful on their daily lives. With national news becoming increasingly polarized local outlets like the Hutchinson Leader were a great way to stay up-to-date and avoid some of the more politically charged headlines.
My heart goes out to everyone who will be affected by the end of this publication. Countless hours and years of dedication to bringing the community the news that matters. The end of something you?ve put so much effort into is always a tough experience. I pray that everyone at the Hutchinson Leader finds their next adventure just as enjoyable as this was.
The Start of Omnibus Season
Now that most of the omnibus and supplemental budget bills have left their respective committees we will begin having more lengthy floor debates on these bills as they make their way to the governor?s desk. While I hope these bills will make it to the floor with only good legislation, the unfortunate reality is that a number of these bills will have unworkable provisions.
The long evenings and rigorous debate will be worth it to fight for the people of Minnesota. Whether it?s funding for education, infrastructure improvements, or public safety, we know that the decisions made here will ripple across communities. I am honored to continue the fight and stand up for the future of Minnesota.
Happy Passover
Monday marks the begging of the Passover Holiday, a significant Jewish holiday that commemorates the liberation of the Israelites from Egyptian slavery. It?s a time for reflection, gratitude, and family gatherings. It?s a period of both solemn remembrance and joyous celebration, as we embrace the enduring spirit of freedom and the triumph of hope over adversity. May your Passover be filled with peace, happiness, and the warmth of loved ones. Happy Passover to all who celebrate!
