House Passes PPP Reform Bill
The  PPP Reform bill passed 417-1 , with all members of the Minnesota delegation voting ’yea.’ In addition to Rep. Dean Phillips, the bill’s lead author, our thanks go to the other Minnesota authors, Reps. Craig, Emmer, McCollum and Stauber.  During  his remarks  from the floor, Rep. Phillips held up hospitality businesses as ”the institutions of our main streets” that need the fixes included. The bill now moves to the Senate for consideration. Please contact  Sen. Klobuchar  and  Sen. Smith  and urge their full support when it comes up for a vote.
