PPP Conversation with Rep. Phillips
Today, Liz Rammer spoke with Congressman Dean Phillips, thanking him for introducing the Paycheck Protection Flexibility Act. Fixing the PPP is one of the key actions Hospitality Minnesota has been advocating for and as noted in yesterday’s update, this bipartisan legislation (co-authored by Chip Roy (R, TX), is aimed at addressing the law’s many flaws. Congressman Phillips noted the need to get 290 co-sponsors in order to bring this bill to the House floor for vote. This is where you, our members come in.   Take action now  and help us by asking your  US Representative  and our two  US Senators  to become a co-sponsor of Paycheck Protection Flexibility Act. 
Advocacy on RV Camping
Following yesterday’s disappointing news on the continuing restrictions on recreational RV camping in private campgrounds, we are making another petition to the Governor, DEED, DNR and Administration that those restrictions be lifted immediately.
