Paul Utke

Minnesota State Senator representing Senate District 5

[David Hann @davidhann]

@MNHomelessCo @HennepinD6 @TristaMatas @KaohlyVangHer @mikehowardmn Sure it can be scary to talk about these things, but it sure helps other folks understand situations they may not have directly experienced.

@MNHomelessCo @HennepinD6 @TristaMatas @KaohlyVangHer @mikehowardmn (1/2) People that leave to get healthcare treatments and medical attention (including substance use or mental health treatment) currently lose their housing support benefit after 18 days of absence. Rather than force people to choose between housing or healthcare, we wanted to...

@MNHomelessCo @HennepinD6 @TristaMatas @KaohlyVangHer @mikehowardmn They provide a huge benefit to struggling Minnesotans—it’s something we’ve previously funded and have seen excellent results with. We look out for each other to keep the community safe. Putting these funds towards emergency shelters and outreach programs helps further that goal.

It is important to remember the men and women who keep us safe each and every day. Thank you to all members of law enforcement on #NationalLawEnforcementAppreciationDay and every day🇺🇸

Largest tax relief in 18 yrs, largest transportation bill without raising taxes, K-12 reform, REAL ID. A really productive #mnleg session.

[Minnesota Senate Republicans @mnsrc]

The #mnleg just passed a $650 million tax relief package that will benefit farmers, small businesses, college graduates and seniors!

[Minnesota Senate Republicans @mnsrc]

.@paulgazelka: We have a deal. We reached across the table and shook hands. This is how politics should work. #mnleg

[MN House Republicans @mnhousegop]

.@GovMarkDayton vetoes essential, bipartisan teacher licensure bill — siding with union bosses over students & educators. #mnleg

[Tom Hauser @thauserkstp]

GOP Sen. Eric Pratt calls the teacher licensure bill veto "unconscionable." Says it would have been fully funded.
