Drama at the Capitol as DFLers stay away. Judge will soon decide on Sen. Mitchell's motion to delay trial


Listen Later

Democrats in the Minnesota House made good on a threat to boycott the first day of the state legislative session on Tuesday. The lack of members prompted Secretary of State Steve Simon, a Democrat, to declare an absence of quorum to do business. Republicans maintain they have authority to run the chamber and chose GOP Rep. Lisa Demuth as House Speaker.


Becker County Judge Michael Fritz says he will rule "sooner rather than later" on a motion to delay the criminal trial of DFL State Sen. Nicole Mitchell until after the current legislative session.


This is a MPR News morning update, hosted by Phil Picardi. Music by Gary Meister.
