ST PAUL, Minn — The Minnesota Senate wants Gov. Tim Walz to keep his hands off how the state's schools respond to the coronavirus pandemic from now on, and leave those decisions entirely to local school boards.
The Senate voted Thursday afternoon to strip Walz of his peacetime emergency powers when it comes to public schools across the state. The Republican-led effort passed with a bi-partisan 40-to-27 tally after a three-hour debate.
