Two weeks ago, constituents met with Cmsr Fernando + she agreed to release an updated assessment of the HERC by December 18. (see release at link in bio)

We are holding a townhall on Dec 18 at 5:30pm to discuss that assessment + get moving on next steps.

Stay tuned!

#MNlegislature wants a "recycling facility" in #BrooklynParkmn, but there has been a lack of public input & it would actually add more #pollution. Contact your reps to demand they either add amendments or pull the bill. #environmentaljustice https://t.co/5pX2rI6SkP
