@RuthForHouse We appreciate your sponsorship of HF450!

[Ruth Richardson @RuthForHouse]

HF 450 passed out of the Housing committee unanimously today. The bill creates a right to counsel for public housing tenants in eviction cases. Safe, affordable, & accessible housing is essential for family stability, social & economic well-being, & mental and physical health.

[MSBA at the Capitol @MSBAcapitol]

@RuthForHouse Great news. @mnbar supports this bill which evens the playing field for tenants.

It's an interesting world.

A lawyer logged into the 394th Judicial District with a cat filter on and couldn't turn it off.

This may be the funniest video I've seen this year.
