We’d like to thank everybody who attended the meeting last Friday, we thought it was a great success. The room was full and the discussion was forthright and honest with many views being heard. We were grateful to hear from Rep. Dennis Smith from Maple Grove as he talked about how the law came into being and his dedication to making the law work for everybody.

If you couldn’t make it to the meeting please be sure to contact your legislators and let them know what you think of the law here.

Here are some pictures from the event.
