Affordable rental units
Your must know there is a HUGE problem in Minnesota so what are you waiting for? FIX IT!!! Minimum wage workers making $7.25 an hour would need to work 89 hours a week to afford a modest two-bedroom apartment, which rents for $836 a month, on average, in Minnesota. Before you set the minimum wage laws in MN, then you should have to try and live off that for a year without any credit cards, credit, etc. and see if you can survive... And if you can't do that then at least work with builders and clear more land for affordable housing. Your not DOING YOUR JOB!!! Your supposed to work for the majority of the people, not the few greedy ones... If you don't care then GET OUT OF POLITICS...
