With the legislature in session,  Spring is the State Fair of politics - without all the vittles on sticks, unfortunately. In the spirit of all the good, bad, and ugly that goes into running the place, here's a peek at a few ways you can catch up with the flying circus this week:

Local - Lower Phalen Creek Project invites you to support their bill in committee - a big step for this East Side Project! Click here.
City - $15 Miminum Wage conversations are on - see the Quick Link to learn more and email me if you want to be included 
Everywhere - A call to Gov Dayton may be in order, if you oppose preemption - this time on local govs who want to have a say in packaging. Learn more.

And today US Senator Tina Smith is getting a taste of the East Side along Payne Ave - including Ward 6, Caydence and Plaza del Sol - accompanied by Senator Foung Hawj. You can meet up with her at Arlington Community Center. 

On her next visit to the East Side, which places should she visit? Chime in and join the discussion on Facebook.
See you at the show!
