Governor Tim Walz is weighing in on the battle over control of the Minnesota House. The Republicans used their temporary one-vote majority to swear in members and elect a House speaker with no Democrats present. Walz says, “this is a short-term issue that will be corrected on the 29th.” That is the day after a special election in District 40-B which is expected to be won by the D-F-L candidate and would return to the House to a 67-67 tie. The governor added, “trying to use this vacancy to create a two-year majority that doesn’t exist is not the way to go about it.” House Democrats have boycotted the first three days of the session and filed a lawsuit with the Supreme Court.
