Legislative Update
Monday is looking to be a long evening on the House Floor. The agenda includes HF 4300, the so called "safe storage bill" that greatly infringes on Minnesotan's second amendment rights within their own homes. This bill would require that all firearms be stored unloaded and in a locked storage case or with a trigger lock. In the unfortunate event that a firearm is needed for self-defense seconds can make all the difference and this law will add those seconds putting lives in danger.
Another gun bill the floor on Monday is HF 2609, part of which could already be law if the majority party actually had an interest in good governance. This bill combines Rep. Scott's legislation on illegal firearms transfers with poorly defined restrictions on triggers that have many 2nd amendment experts concerned with this legislation. This should have been a unanimous vote off the floor yet the majority continues to make every decision as divisive as possible to the detriment of our state.

On Thursday I was able to join the groundbreaking for a 50 million dollar investment in our bridges here in Austin. The project will replace these bridges along i90 and provide safe transit infrastructure for years to come.
