After meeting with state legislative leaders on Tuesday, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz followed up with a letter asking lawmakers to be ready to pass essential legislation during an upcoming special session. Walz laid out an agenda on issues like front-line worker pay, drought relief and additional COVID-19 pandemic response in the letter. Walz is ready to call a special session as soon as legislative leaders and the administration can come to agreement on key issues.
