Reshaping the Minnesota Legislature

Lawmakers regularly propose constitutional amendments to tweak the fundamental principles that govern us. In fact, the Minnesota Legislative Reference Library notes that 213 constitutional amendments have been voted on by the electorate, and 120 of them have been adopted since statehood. Senator Scott Jensen, R-Chaska, would like voters to consider a constitutional amendment that would reduce the size of Minnesota’s legislature by twenty-five percent. Senator John Marty, DFL-Roseville, has proposed a constitutional amendment that would change the legislature from a bicameral body to a unicameral body. Both lawmakers join Capitol Report moderator Shannon Loehrke to provide their rationale for the proposed changes. Each October, the Minnesota Historical Society offers the Shadows and Spirits of the Capitol Tour. Brian Pease, the site manager of the Capitol, describes the historical figures attendees will meet during these special ticketed events.
