NEW: Minnesota Attorney General @AGEllison (D) won’t appeal a district court decision that struck down several abortion laws, including a 24-hour waiting period, a two-parent notification requirement and hospitalization rules. Image
Ellison says the AG's office has put about $620,000 toward the case in staff time and other costs since 2019. Image
Yesterday, one of the Republicans challenging Ellison (@doug_wardlow) suggested that officials in other counties not abide by the abortion decision from a Ramsey County judge. The judge barred enforcement statewide of the affected laws.

GOP AG candidate @doug_wardlow, the 2028 nominee challenging endorsed Republican @JimForMN, criticizes his opponent as “effectively prochoice” over a recent abortion quote in @StarTribune.

The Aug 9 primary will determine the fall opponent of incumbent DFLer @EllisonCampaign. Image
This is the quote in question Image
Wardlow says he’d “prosecute abortion providers who break the law.”

He said he would also investigate abortion providers.

He said he’d “wage war” on Doe v Gomez court decision protecting abortion access in Minn.

He said he’d resist efforts to weaken existing restrictions.

Senate Majority Leader @jeremyrmiller says his caucus doesn’t want a special session #mnleg
House Minority Leader @kdaudt, newly empowered as special session talk commences, says he wants spending bills reined in.

“I am not optimistic about there being a special session, and I think that’s OK.”

“We can pick that work up right away in January of next year.”

GOP Senator @jimabeler on status of the HHS bill, which would be the place where long-term care/nursing home money and child care assistance dollars would land:

“It has a remote chance to exist.” #mnleg

NEW: @melissahortman says #mnleg is beyond the point where all bills can be closed up, written and voted on by midnight.

She says negotiators will work to seal up agreements and she will ask @GovTimWalz for “a brief special session” to process remaining bills if deals sealed.
Still not finished: Health and Human Services, Public Safety, E12, transportation, and bonding.

Some of the completed bills could get votes today.

Only governors can call special sessions but duration dictated by #mnleg, especially minority caucuses due to rules suspensions.
Worth noting, yesterday House Taxes Chair Paul Marquart told reporters that the tax-cut deal would be the same in a special session. (Quote below)

Senate Taxes Chair Carla Nelson said she hoped for Sunday passage (her birthday).

But tax bill will be among last to pass #mnleg

State employee contracts bill ratified by Senate, which appears to be identical to a bill approved by the House in March. #mnleg
There might need to be one more House vote. But it'll sail there.
House passes the state employee contracts bill again. On to governor. #mnleg

What is this 2006? House Speaker @melissahortman going on @wccoradio to talk end of session with ex-Gov @TimPawlenty (who is guest hosting the time slot opened by @CoryHepola run for #mngov).

Hortman has had a low profile in the last week after contracting COVID19.
Hortman: "We've got some stubborn people who all think they should get 75% decision making in any deal that gets made. They need to get realistic."
"I know they've made fantastic progress on the tax bill. I can't tell you what's in it because I don't know."

They're having a "stickier" time with the spending bills," Hortman tells Pawlenty.
