(KNSI) – Republicans in the Minnesota House called a news conference Tuesday to call for action on policing and public safety changes as the Legislature plans to meet in a special session later this month to approve a new state budget.
District 13A (Cold Spring) Republican Rep. Lisa Demuth was a guest of KNSI’s Dan ‘The Ox” Ochsner and says she was motivated to join this call to action after three children were shot, twofatally, in Minneapolis several weeks ago.
