 Well, today the Brainerd Lakes chapter of the League of Women Voters got a chance to meet with two Minnesota elected officials. Senators Rude and Gezelka spoke to the group about what current topics they are discussing at the state level. They gave a brief overview of what happened in the last legislative session and what they are preparing for in the upcoming session. And Senator Gezelka spoke about topics such as health care, the roads and bridges and bill and also tax relief. It's a good time to get out into the community. Typically the questions are pretty deep and broad. And you never know what's going on out in the community or what they understand about what's happened at the Capitol. And so you try to do events like this so that people can speak what they think is important and we get a chance to listen and then respond back. The League of Women Voters is a non-partisan political organization that's purpose is to educate and inform citizens.
