Hello from the State Capitol,

 

By a unanimous vote, the Minnesota House of Representatives approved my legislation that honors the life and sacrifice made by former Grand Meadow Police Officer Jason Meyer.

 

The bill designates a stretch of U.S. Highway 63 south of Racine as "Officer Jason B. Meyer Memorial Highway."

 

This memorial is long overdue for a hero who died while trying to help others.

 

Officer Meyer was killed in the line of duty in 1999 in a single-car crash while responding to a call for assistance from a deputy in a neighboring agency. He lost control of his vehicle while rounding a corner from Minnesota Highway 16 onto U.S. Highway 63, striking a utility pole while skidding sideways.

 

Meyer had served with the Grand Meadow Police Department for only six months when the crash occurred. He was only 28 years old.

 

I was pleased with the overwhelming House support for the legislation. Officer Meyer’s widow testified in favor of this bill in our Minnesota House transportation committee and did a great job. He deserves to be memorialized, as our state will always be grateful for her husband’s sacrifice.

 

The bill now heads to the Minnesota Senate for its approval.

 

Have a good weekend,

 

Greg
