Mid-Legislative Session Follow Up

Thanks to those of you that jumped on the mid-legislative update call on Monday morning! After that call, Senator Dahms provided some names and how to get a hold of them if you wanted to reach out regarding the Paid Family Medical Leave bill. Info is below. 

If you do reach out to them, and I hope that you so, include numbers and costs. They need to see how much it is going to cost your company, non-profit or public institution. If you don't know how much it's going to be, click on this link from the MN Chamber of Commerce: click here.

"Here are the senators your members should talk to: Kupec, Seeberger, Hauschild, Putnam, and Gustafson. Their contact information can be found here."
