MN SENATE: via Star Tribune, VERBATIM: “Minnesota Republicans will push a vote [today] to expel three-term GOP Sen. Justin Eichorn from the chamber following his arrest. … ‘There is no question that these charges merit expulsion,’ Senate Minority Leader Mark Johnson, R-East Grand Forks, said. … Minnesota Gov.

Each of the counts of wire fraud carries a 20-year maximum sentence. … Last year, a jury in the trial of seven defendants in another Feeding Our Future case took four days to deliberate before convicting five defendants and acquitting two. … Bock’s attorney, Kenneth Udoibok, said he will appeal. He said the speed of the verdict told him that the jurors' minds were made up before they began deliberating.” READ: https://fluence-media.co/3RlJUAM
MORE: via AP News, VERBATIM: “Democratic Gov. Tim Walz, who came under heavy criticism from Republicans who said his administration should have caught the fraud earlier, told reporters he remains ‘furious’ with ‘criminals that preyed on the system that was meant to feed children.’ But he pointed out that nobody in state government, which administered the federal funding, was ever charged in the case.” WALZ: “We just need to make sure that we put up more firewalls, more security, more ability to make sure that these criminals aren’t able to prey on this.” READ: https://fluence-media.co/4bCT8lJ

My idea was to keep my head down, not draw a contrast to Minnesota, and do the best we could. That’s not going to work this time with this guy. … I think it behooves us [Democrats] to be a little more strategic and organized together on how we approach that.” READ: https://fluence-media.co/4bCCSkF

But after months of partisan standoffs at the Capitol, it was a novel scene — and some argue a vital makeup…The Minnesota House returned to a 67-67 split on Monday. It reset the power dynamic at the Capitol, where Republicans and Democrats share control in the House and Democrats hold a one-vote lead in the Senate…The close divide changed the formula for what it takes for a bill to succeed this year.
