Friday Politics: Unresolved Matters in the Capitol

Reading Time: < 1 minute

The Minnesota Legislature’s 2024 session is entering its final two weeks, and the pace is picking up as lawmakers scramble to address key issues before the session ends. One major item on the agenda is the bonding bill, which includes funding for crucial construction projects that require state approval to move forward.

As the construction financing plan takes shape, MPR News host Brian Bakst will sit down with the chair of the House Capital Investment Committee on Friday at noon to discuss the latest developments. The bonding bill is a critical piece of legislation that will have a significant impact on the state’s infrastructure and economy.

In addition to the bonding bill, attention is also focused on an upcoming Senate Ethics Committee hearing. The conduct of two members in the closely divided chamber is currently under review, and the hearing is expected to shed light on any potential ethical violations.

Meanwhile, MPR News continues its series of peer-led conversations with Gen. Z voters about their perspectives on the upcoming election. The insights from these young voters provide a unique and valuable perspective on the political landscape.

As the legislative session reaches its final stretch, Capitol reporters will provide a check-in on the latest developments and what to expect in the coming days. With so much at stake, the next two weeks are sure to be filled with votes, negotiations, and unexpected twists as lawmakers work to wrap up the session on a high note.
