John Jasinski visited via zoom to update the club on the status and work of the Minnesota Legislature. John serves his hometown and the surrounding area of District 24 of the Minnesota State Senate. John is honored to have been selected by his colleagues to serve as an assistant majority leader and majority whip, where he plays an integral role in the leadership of our majority caucus.
2020 was a bonding year, due to the covid19 pandemic many of the issues across our state have been magnified in need. The bonding bill was not a bipartisan creation, but John saw many of his concerns in the bill and his colleagues knew the funding would help their constituents in this time of need.
The state coming into the pandemic was looking at a 1.6 billion surplus, and now is looking at a 4.8 billion deficit in funding. John mentioned it will be key to go line by line to get Minnesota back to a healthy state budget. John Jasinski is currently running for his 2nd term to the state senate.
