About a dozen citizens addressed the media Monday, May 21, including Gaye Smith, manager at the Deputy Registrar at South St. Paul, who called upon Governor Dayton to sign the supplemental budget bill, which includes compensation for many of the business owners who lost business transactions due to the software failure of the Minnesota Licensing and Registration System (MNLARS).
Other citizens who spoke included David Karcher, who owns group homes, and expressed concern about possible cuts in the disability waiver system. Kevin Papp, a farmer, spoke about the need for funding for farmer's mental health services, and Kelsey Yasgar spoke of the importance of school safety for her daughter's school.
House Speaker Kurt Daudt said the press conference is the start of speaking out on important provisions in the bills. Governor Dayton earlier said he would take several days to review the omnibus spending measure, which includes several policies positions.
