Today marks the start of the 2021 MN Legislative Session. A session that will likely be very different than any other legislative session since it will begin and likely remain an online affair. Our CEO, Julie Tesch got an opportunity to chat with Scott McMahon, the Executive Director of the Greater Minnesota Partnership about the issues that he will be bringing to legislators on behalf of rural Minnesota, how there needs to be more understanding that challenges and opportunities look different in rural and metro areas,  and – how the heck do you lobby without a lobby?
