MAYORS WANT SPECIAL SESSION

Mayors from Hutchinson, Bemidji, and Minneapolis and officials from Ely, Moorhead, Owatonna and St. Paul will hold a press conference Thursday, November 15th to ask Governor Pawlenty to call a special session. The mayors want the legislature to restore nearly $70-Million in local government aid but also consider property tax relief. Two-thirds of Minnesota school levy referenda were approved last week and the Minnesota mayors think taxpayers may need some help. The meeting will be at the state capitol in St. Paul Thursday morning at 10:45am.
