Beware: MN Dept. of Revenue Scam
I want to draw your attention to a scam text message I received earlier this week. Below is a screenshot of this fraudulent request, seemingly from the MN Dept. of Revenue. Note that this is from an unconventional phone number, requesting payment, and demanding urgent action. DO NOT click the link or go to the website. The actual MN Dept. of Revenue or other government agencies will not text you like this. Please report this as scam if you receive it and do not comply with their requests!
Walz Announces His Run for Re-election
The rumors become true this week when Walz officially announced his campaign for re-election. Walz would be the first ever to serve 3 consecutive 4-year terms as governor, and after seeing his track record over the first two terms I know we cannot afford it as a state. His recent campaign video was released, and there are some farfetched "accomplishments" compared to what has actually happened here over the last 8 years. Check out his campaign announcement compared to the real truth here.
In the midst of this announcement, the governor’s “promise” of a special session for gun control legislation is looking more like political posturing than a serious plan. No date has been set, nor has any timeline been offered, but I will let you know if I hear anything further.
In the meantime, some members of the Senate have been meeting to discuss potential legislation relating to gun control. You can view their most recent 'working group' hearing here.
Additionally, the Fraud Committee had another hearing to discuss concerning revelations in the state's housing stabilization program. Representatives from the program, including a temporary commissioner, attended the meeting to testify. You can watch that hearing here.
