Session Priorities of the Senate and the House, 2022 Session Begins, Recruiting Police & ERA Efforts

The nearly $8 billion projected budget surplus provides lawmakers with the resources to tackle the challenges confronting the state, thus setting the stage for competing ideas between the Republican-led Senate and the DFL-led House.  The majority leaders of both bodies, Senate Leader Jeremy Miller and House Leader Ryan Winkler, join Capitol Report moderator Shannon Loehrke to talk about the priorities of their respective caucuses. 

Also in the program, highlights from the opening day of the 2022 legislative session and press conferences advocating for law enforcement recruitment efforts and proposed legislation to reflect the tenets of the Equal Rights Amendment.
