We've been under the heavy weather--or out looking for meadowlarks or listening to spring frogs in the few moments of sunlight here in Northeastern South Dakota--and will have more substantive reportage beginning tomorrow morning.
Here's the MNHouse Information Services Youtube of the speech
It's time to take on the challenges of climate change.
👩🌾Our farmers can lead.
👷♀️Our workforce can build.
📈Our businesses can grow.
✊Our kids are demanding it.
🗳️Our #MNLeg needs to act.
👉We can do it this year.

That last one speaks for itself.
We'll post links to coverage of the address in an update.
