In their role of administrative oversight, the Minnesota Senate initiated hearings to examine the makeup and management of the department, which has a $39 billion biennial budget and 6,700 employees. Senator Michelle Benson, R-Ham Lake, chair of the Senate Health and Human Services Committee, joins Capitol Report moderator Shannon Loehrke to discuss potential reorganization and redirection of the department. Plus, highlights from the first Senate oversight meeting.
The Senate has formed a select committee on home ownership affordability and availability to address the state’s emerging housing crisis. Chair of the select committee, Senator Rich Draheim, R-Madison Lake, joins Shannon to preview ways policymakers can improve access to home ownership.
