Retailers Have 100 Conversations With Legislators

Retailers from across Minnesota descended on the State Capitol Thursday, sharing their stories with legislators in more than 100 meetings.  The effort to help legislators understand the impact of their decisions on communities, jobs, and retail operations took place as part of the Minnesota Retailers Association's annual legislative day at the Capitol.
 
Minnesota House of Representatives Minority Leader Kurt Daudt welcomed retailers to St. Paul at a morning breakfast, saying "thank you to each of you for what you do in our communities, it makes a difference, and thank you for connecting with legislators today."

Following Daudt, Department of Employment and Economic Development Government Affairs Director Kim Babine shared Minnesota employment statistics with attendees, painting a picture of an improving state economy.
