WALZ-FLANAGAN: via Star Tribune, VERBATIM: “Gov. Tim Walz and Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan haven’t been seen together publicly in seven weeks and the two aren’t communicating or meeting privately, a rift that coincided with his return from the national campaign, according to multiple sources. … Walz [denied] in a recent interview that there was tension…[but] others who spoke on condition of anonymity said the Walz team was not pleased at steps Flanagan had taken to assume the governorship, conferring with potential key hires and preparing for a possible run herself in 2026. … The Walz camp was especially irked because Flanagan had tapped Walz’s gubernatorial campaign fund without authorization for some work. … When Walz joined the national ticket, Flanagan vouched for him in interviews as a good governing partner. … After Walz’s national loss, something shifted.” READ: https://fluence-media.co/3ZHhhC8
MORE: via Axios Twin Cities, VERBATIM: “The pair, who have long played up their partnership and chummy rapport, have yet to appear together publicly after Election Day. [Peggy] Flanagan's top staffer in the governor's office also recently announced that he has left his post. … For weeks, [Tim] Walz staffers have said the lack of joint events is due to calendar conflicts, citing Flanagan's commitments outside the office. … [But] Flanagan has been notably absent from at least a half-dozen events Walz has hosted since his return. … Walz and Flanagan have privately been at odds over policy and strategy in the past. Rumors swirled in the lead-up to the 2022 election that the ticket could have split instead of running together for a second term. [Now], Walz and the more progressive Flanagan have yet to commit to running again in 2026.” READ: https://fluence-media.co/3P38S6X
MORE: via Axios’ Torey Van Oot, VERBATIM: “In addition to the lack of joint appearances, team Walz hasn't been sending advisories on [Flanagan’s] solo events, or those she's tweeted about. A news release today on child tax credits didn't even include her name.” TWEETS: https://fluence-media.co/4grAdMo

SEARCH: via NPR, VERBATIM: “With Republican pickups both nationally and in his home state, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz is searching for the right balance when preparing to push back against GOP priorities, while also showing that he's willing to work with them on issues important to middle class voters…After Democrats lost the presidential election, Walz is now back home working out of the state capitol in St. Paul, Minn., where he recently described the one question that keeps him up at night - why more voters chose President-elect Donald Trump, who Walz described as a billionaire, rather than the Democratic presidential ticket… While Walz thought this record would appeal to middle class voters, he now acknowledges there was a disconnect in how many voters viewed the Democratic presidential ticket and how he thought he would be perceived.” READ: https://fluence-media.co/3ZJKMmD
BLUE DOGS: via MinnPost, VERBATIM: “Sen. Grant Hauschild, DFL-Hermantown, [tweeted in November]: ‘It is clear to me that Northern Minnesotans want representatives who focus on delivering for our communities and stay out of the nonsense.’ … The previous day, both House seats in Hauschild’s 3rd District had gone to the GOP, [ending] the DFL trifecta. … Hauschild — and all other DFL senators — had voted for that agenda. Now, those same senators are less than two years from their own reelections, and many from outside the core of the DFL’s Twin Cities base are wondering how this year’s results will impact the next election. … [Thus], the newly formed Blue Dog Coalition. The eight Senate members are DFLers from Twin Cities suburbs and from regional population centers near Mankato, Moorhead, Duluth and St. Cloud.” READ: https://fluence-media.co/3ZMgWhc
TAXES: Multiple DFL Senators in the Blue Dog caucus have said they are will not vote to raise taxes in the next legislative session.
SENDFL: Last night, Sens. Bonnie Westin and Grant Hauschild were elected Assistant Majority Leaders.
TAKE: Gov. Arne Carlson had two different Lt. Governors, so did Gov. Mark Dayton. In morning take on September 24, 2021 we speculated that Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan wasn’t assured to be on the ticket with Gov. Tim Walz for the 2022 campaign. The buzz then was that she hadn’t been asked, there was tension then just as there is now.
Sources then said that Flanagan had not been asked, and as I wrote then, VERBATIM: “Another whisper in “Walz World” for 2022: Is will Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan be on the ticket? She hasn’t been at most of the fundraisers for re-election, and she represents the “far left” that weighs Walz down on issues from Line 3 to public safety. For months, there has been a sense that there is discord between them.” LINK: https://fluence-media.co/3AHgseF
The next day, via Fox 9, WALZ: "It’s been a strong ticket. We’ve been highly effective. It would be my assumption that that’s what we’ll do if we make that decision. But we’ve not made that decision," Walz said Friday during a visit to a Dakota County farm…An aide to Flanagan later said the lieutenant governor echoed Walz's comments.” LINK: https://fluence-media.co/2WeXDR3
Now Rochelle Olson and Ryan Faircloth for the Star Tribune, and Torey Van Oot at Axios have stories that Walz and Flanagan aren’t talking, and the rift is real, and now its public. That’s an uncomfortable place for a Governor, who doesn’t like to be uncomfortable and avoids conflict.
Meanwhile, Flanagan was a loyal surrogate for the Walz-Harris campaign., and planful in getting ready to assume duties as Governor. If she wasn’t ready and Walz had won – the transition might not have been smooth. She would have had to face the questions about Autism fraud, the budget forecast and other hot topics. The allegation in the Star Tribune story that she used joint campaign funds without authorization is countered by those close to Flanagan who say. “Anything that was spent during Walz’s VP campaign was “self-raised”…“She was intentional not using joint dollars at a time when he (Walz) didn’t have capacity to make those decisions.”
DYNAMICS: The Walz-Flanagan internal fight may reflect the dynamics within the DFL caucuses going into the legislative session. Last week, DFL Senators announced a “Blue Dog Caucus”, suggesting they aren’t aligned with all of the ideas that the previously very unified DFL Senate Caucus voted for in 2023 and 2024. The same dynamic is likely to emerge in the House, as the POCI Caucus this week announced new leadership this week. Flanagan, a founding member of the POCI Caucus when she was House member, has strong relationships with, and loyalty from the liberal factions within the DFL. As legislators, specifically DFLers try to navigate a tied house, and pass a budget, with a meager $616 million surplus tensions will rise between the DFL members in both caucuses. One final consideration is that it was those POCI Caucus members, and other far-left legislators who pushed hard to raise extra revenue after the $18 billion dollar surplus was spent – are going to keep pushing, against the Senate Blue Dogs and a Governor who may now sense he moved too far left on spending and more in 2023.

TAX CREDIT: via Office of the Governor, VERBATIM: “Governor Tim Walz today announced that taxpayers who qualify for Minnesota’s nation-leading Child Tax Credit will have the option to receive advance payments of the credit during the upcoming tax filing season. Minnesota is the first state in the nation to offer this option for Child Tax Credit recipients. … If a taxpayer chooses the advance payment option during the upcoming filing season, they will receive their full Child Tax Credit for the current filing year, part of their following year credit in three advance payments sent in the second half of 2025, and the remaining part of the credit when filing their next income tax return.” READ: https://fluence-media.co/41D29s1
KLOBUCHAR: via Star Tribune, VERBATIM: “Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar will be the top Democrat on the Senate Agriculture Committee in the next Congress, after being named to the post by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer on Wednesday. Klobuchar becomes ranking-member on the powerful committee, which will oversee the next farm bill, a day after Rep. Angie Craig, a Minnesota Democratic counterpart, became ranking member for the House Agriculture Committee. … With the retirement of current Agriculture Committee Chairwoman Sen. Debbie Stabenow, a Michigan Democrat, Klobuchar had largely been expected to ascend to her party’s top spot on the committee.” READ: https://fluence-media.co/4gmio0S
RESPONSE: via a Sen. Amy Klobuchar statement, KLOBUCHAR: “When I first came to the Senate, my number-one request was to be on the Agriculture Committee. … From working across the aisle to strengthen our defenses against animal disease outbreaks to bolstering our ability to produce home-grown fuel and supporting conservation efforts, the work of the Agriculture Committee touches every aspect of our lives. I look forward to…[passing] a strong farm bill.” READ: https://fluence-media.co/4gkO72N
CRAIG: KARE 11 interviewed Rep. Angie Craig after she was made ranking member on the House Agriculture Committee to hear her thoughts on passing a farm bill. VERBATIM: “Craig hopes she will have more leverage to do something about [the farm bill]. She says she will, and admits must, work across the aisle to get the bill passed. … Craig also says it will be key to support co-ops so small farmers can maintain sustainability for generations to come. … Craig says it is expected the Farm Bill from 2018 will be extended through the year.” QUOTE: “I've served on this committee for two years, and we should have already completed the farm bill. … I think we need to do everything in our power to make sure that these retailers have to compete with each other so that consumers can get the best price that they can get.” READ/WATCH: https://fluence-media.co/4gIiHD7

GUN DEATHS: via MPR News, VERBATIM: “The number of Minnesotans who died as a result of gun-related incidents in 2023 is lower than in past years…according to a report released Wednesday by Protect Minnesota. … The report relies on data from state death certificates and found 530 people died from gun-related incidents in 2023. In 2022, that number was 569, and 570 in the previous year. Suicides made up more than 70 percent of gun deaths. … The report also found that more than half of all firearm suicides occurred outside the seven-county metro area, while the majority of gun homicides happened within the metro.” READ: https://fluence-media.co/3VNLcqV
RAMSEY CTY: via FOX 9, VERBATIM: “Ramsey County is ending its controversial policy of billing people who call the crisis hotline in search of life-saving help from the mobile crisis response team. … Data obtained by the FOX 9 Investigators reveals Ramsey County has billed people at least 745 times since 2023. In 2016, the county began billing people directly for mobile crisis response services after they called the crisis hotline. Other counties in Minnesota do not directly bill individuals. Mental health experts and advocates criticized the billing policy, saying it puts vulnerable people at more risk and adds barriers to mental health services.” READ/WATCH: https://fluence-media.co/4gyB0L0
ST PAUL: via Pioneer Press, VERBATIM: “By a vote of 6-1, the St. Paul City Council approved a developer’s efforts to overturn a Board of Zoning Appeals decision regarding 1963 Grand Ave., effectively greenlighting a five-story apartment building that will be constructed in place of three rental houses near the University of St. Thomas. Benegas Properties had sought two zoning variances to construct the Grand Row Apartments. … The zoning code allows only four stories on that part of Grand Avenue…[but] Council President Mitra Jalali, who represents the area, motioned Wednesday to grant the developer’s appeal of the Board of Zoning Appeals decision, calling a five-story building ‘the highest, best use as proposed.’” READ: https://fluence-media.co/41FYFEY
CAPITOL: via Star Tribune, VERBATIM: “A controversial Satan-themed holiday display inside the Minnesota State Capitol was restored to its spot Wednesday after it was apparently knocked over the night before. … Asmodeus Sion, who in 2017 founded Minnesota Satanists, [said] ‘We figured it would cause a conversation, and we’re glad it did.’ … The Minnesota group, which has legal status as a church, does not worship Satan or believe he is real. … Approximately 70 protesters gathered near the display midday Wednesday. The group included Christians, pastors and Republican state representatives who said it was offensive to erect the display just prior to Christmas.” READ: https://fluence-media.co/4iFi4vV
MORE: Speaking to KSTP, Rep. Jim Nash (R-Waconia) said he joined the protest against the Satanic display in the state capitol because of his faith, but he acknowledged that it’s protected by the First Amendment. NASH: “I am here because I am a Christian…[but] the people who are doing this have the right to do so. Does it bother me to my soul? Yes. Will I speak out against their message? Yes. Will I expect my own state to protect my Christian beliefs if I and others try to get something placed here? Absolutely yes.” READ/WATCH: https://fluence-media.co/4glxMLa

SHUTDOWN: via AP News, VERBATIM: “President-elect Donald Trump abruptly rejected a bipartisan plan Wednesday to prevent a Christmastime government shutdown, instead telling House Speaker Mike Johnson and Republicans to essentially renegotiate — days before a deadline when federal funding runs out. Trump’s sudden entrance into the debate and new demands sent Congress spiraling. … The president-elect made an almost unrealistic proposal that combined some continuation of government funds along with a much more controversial provision to raise the nation’s debt limit — something his own party routinely rejects. … Trump’s billionaire ally Elon Musk [also] rejected the [bipartisan] plan almost as soon as it was released.” READ: https://fluence-media.co/49Hygsz
RESPONSE: via a Rep. Betty McCollum statement, McCOLLUM: “Donald Trump and Elon Musk are threatening to shut down the government before Christmas. It should come as no surprise that the incoming administration is putting the interests of billionaires over the needs of families, workers, and veterans.” TWEET: https://fluence-media.co/3ZH6oAe
MORE: Via Huffington Post reporter Igor Bobic, Sen. Tina Smith was “at a loss for words” when asked about Donald Trump’s push for raising the nation’s debt limit. SMITH: “I can’t even — I really can’t even — I can’t even think about [it].” TWEET: https://fluence-media.co/3P58TaG
USPS: via Star Tribune, VERBATIM: “With Christmas in just a few days, it remains to be seen how the performance of the local USPS network this week, its busiest of the year, will be judged. … The quarterly performance reports for the USPS Minnesota-North Dakota District show mail is being delivered on time less often than a year ago and is behind national averages. … There aren’t many signs of improvements on the way, either. Earlier this month, the Postal Service announced it would lower its performance goals nationwide for on-time mail delivery next year. … CRAIG: ‘This is still the single biggest topic that people randomly walk up to talk to me about,’ U.S. Rep. Angie Craig [told] the Star Tribune.” READ: https://fluence-media.co/4iFKlm7
ENVIRONMENT: via Forum News Service, VERBATIM: “Minnesota could see its most significant environmental impacts from President-elect Donald Trump’s push for mining as he proposes sweeping changes to clean energy and environmental laws.

Holcim MWR Inc., formerly Aggregate Industries, is proposing to move its mining area to mine additional aggregate reserves. … But officials from St. Paul-based Friends of the Mississippi River, a river advocacy group, have raised concerns about Holcim’s plan and its potential impact on the river.” READ: https://fluence-media.co/4iFJP7F
FOREST: via Star Tribune, VERBATIM: “The U.S. Forest Service will buy more than 6,200 acres of land in St. Louis County in a deal aimed at expanding the Superior National Forest and improving the management of wildlife habitat, officials announced Wednesday.

WIRE THEFT: via FOX 9, VERBATIM: “Minnesota will be the first state to require a license for anyone buying or selling copper wire, starting Jan. 1. Late Wednesday afternoon, a judge ruled against recyclers trying to block the law from taking effect. St. Paul city leaders pushed for the law and a drive down Shepard Road makes it obvious why — nearly the entire street is in the dark after sunset because of copper wire theft.” READ/WATCH: https://fluence-media.co/4fomIeT
RECYCLING: via Pioneer Press, VERBATIM: “Minnesotans generate about 6 million tons of waste each year, according to the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency. In new efforts to reduce the harmful impacts, the state is adopting policy geared toward decreasing that tonnage.

HEGSETH: via Star Tribune, VERBATIM: “Leading the entourage, Norm Coleman — Minnesota’s last Republican senator — guides Donald Trump’s secretary of defense nominee Pete Hegseth through the halls of the Senate. Coleman has been a fixture at the Forest Lake native’s side as Hegseth has met with senators day after day amid a barrage of unflattering headlines about his past that have made his path to confirmation an uphill climb. … At the start of the month, it looked like Hegseth might not get confirmed as questions about his drinking, sexual assault allegations and reports that Trump was weighing his replacement surfaced. But by the end of the first week of December, Hegseth had won Trump’s public support and began ramping up meetings with senators, all with Coleman at his side.” READ: https://fluence-media.co/3BCJVMC
