(AP) – Republican leaders of the Minnesota Legislature are calling on Democrats to drop a proposed state Equal Rights Amendment.
They also want Democrats to supply more money for rural ambulance services and make other concessions as part of their price for GOP votes on a public works package and an end to the filibustering that has slowed the final days of the 2024 session.
Senate Minority Leader Mark Johnson, of East Grand Forks, and House Minority Leader Lisa De-mooth, of Cold Spring, complained Tuesday that Republicans have been shut out.
They say they won’t supply the votes necessary to pass a bonding bill unless they are heard.
