Legislative Breakfast
Legislative Breakfast Series - Minnesota’s Premier Legislative and Political Forum
Eggs, Bacon, and Political Commentary
The TwinWest Chamber of Commerce’s Legislative Breakfast series is Minnesota’s premier legislative and political forum. Each breakfast unites compelling, well-known speakers and state legislators with more than 125 business leaders from across the Twin Cities.
The series strikes a balance between public policy and intriguing dialogue while presenting the opportunity to develop strong relationships with legislators and public officials.
Some of the big names and featured topics from past Legislative Breakfasts include: Governor Tim Pawlenty; a session preview with House Majority Leader Tony Sertich and House Minority Leader Kurt Zellers; Congressman Erik Paulsen; political insights from the Chairs of the DFL, IP, and GOP Political Parties; Minnesota Supreme Court Justice Christopher Dietzen, and the always entertaining and insightful session wrap-up panel with moderator Tom Hauser from KSTP’s “At Issue.”

"The state of Minnesota is at a crossroads right now," said Mike Dean, executive director of Common Cause Minnesota, at a press conference announcing the proposal. "The upcoming election will determine what direction the state takes. If this legislature fails to act now to address the problems created by Citizens United, it will become more susceptible to the influence of special interest groups."
Winkler and other legislators have been meeting regularly with the Minnesota Chamber of Commerce and other business groups in hopes of coming up with compromise legislation.

In particular, according to Winkler, business interests have balked at the shareholder disclosure requirement and the 48-hour rule. Read the full article at Politics in Minnesota here.
