MANKATO, Minn. (KEYC) Rep. Jeremy Munson (R-Lake Crystal) is drafting a bill to remove the offense for expired license tabs in an effort to reduce the number of traffic stops.
“A lot of people have been asking to reduce the number of interactions between law enforcement and civilians,” Munson said. “There’s a lot of primary offenses that can trigger being pulled over. Having license tabs being properly displayed doesn’t improve public safety.”

Rep. Frederick Takes Over Seat Held By Retiring Considine

On the first day of the 2021 legislative session, Rep. Luke Frederick, who won the seat that was previously held by the retiring Jack Considine, was sworn in to begin his first term in the Minnesota House of Representatives.
“I am honored to serve the people of District 19B in the Minnesota House of Representatives. I look forward to working with my legislative colleagues to respond to the many challenges caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. We will work together to help our people and economy recover.”
As COVID-19 cases climb, a new report from Policy Matters Ohio and the Ohio Student Association (OSA) shows that the pandemic is driving down enrollment at Ohio colleges and universities, straining institutions’ budgets and dramatically reshaping campus life. The situation is made worse by insufficient state support and the failure of federal leaders to pass another round of COVID aid.
“We all benefit when everyone has the opportunity to pursue their dreams,” said Policy Matters Ohio Researcher Piet van Lier, report co-author. “Policymakers are refusing to provide students and institutions support to get through the health crisis and recession. The pandemic is exacerbating longer-term trends, putting higher education even further out of reach for many Ohioans, especially older students, students of color and students whose families have low incomes.”
