Hello from the State Capitol,

 

Breaking news: my Preserve Girls’ Sports Act legislation will be debated on the House floor Monday. Even more big news: some very special guests will be on hand to support my legislation.

 

HF12Rally

 

Riley Gaines, a 12-time NCAA All-American swimmer and maybe the nation’s leading girls' sports advocate, will join me at a rally in support of girls sports prior to the vote.

 

Former Minnesota Viking Jack Brewer, who is a passionate local advocate for preserving girls’ athletics, House Speaker Lisa Demuth, State Senator Julia Coleman, and prominent attorney Ryan Wilson will also be on hand to speak in favor of my common sense legislation.

 

Do you believe only girls should participate in girls’ athletics? Then please join us for this public rally on Monday at 11:00 AM in front of the Minnesota State Capitol building. Our daughters and granddaughters deserve our support!

 

*SOLAR AND WIND COMPONENT RECYCLING *

This week, the Minnesota House environment committee heard my solar and wind infrastructure stewardship bill.

 

Currently, we have no plan in place to dispose of wind and solar energy components after they have reached the end of their useful life, meaning they are being dumped in landfills. I do not want other communities to have the clean up problems we had in Andover in recent years.

 

My bill would set up a program, much like E-waste, where these materials can be disposed of properly.

 

In addition to product recycling and collection guidelines, the bill would place a fee on the retail sales of wind and solar infrastructure to fund the program, ensuring taxpayers won’t be on the hook for recycling and waste management costs.

 

The bill also requires a prohibition on disposing of this waste in landfills in Minnesota until we figure this out.

 

*DATA RETENTION BILL HEARD*

The House judiciary finance committee heard my bill this week that centers on data retention in state government. Basically, the state needs to get with the times. When it comes to data retention, no modernization has been done since microfiche was still being used. Data storage is getting cheaper all the time, and there are also questions about email correspondence and how long that data should be kept. I’m glad the conversation on this topic has begun.
