ST PAUL, MN – Minnesota legislative leaders are reacting to the potential for a special session in the state.
Senate Minority Leader Mark Johnson (R-East Grand Forks) told Flag Family News over the weekend that he had not heard from Walz himself, but rather that there have been rumors of a special session potentially being called to deal with gun laws.
House Speaker Lisa Demuth (R-Cold Spring) said House Republicans ‘stand ready to protect students and schools.’
“I hope we can have a real conversation about all aspects of safety – including things like the school security funding that was denied by the DFL trifecta in 2023 and more funding for desperately needed mental health resources – instead of vague demands for policies that have not stopped gun violence in other states,” she said.
