At this time of year, meetings are always subject to change but here’s what I have seen:

• SF1955 – Omnibus agriculture and broadband appropriations – was heard yesterday and will be debated Wednesday at 3pm

The meeting in hybrid, so you can join online or in person. Yesterday at the MN Broadband Task Force, we heard about the need to get state funding because the big federal funding (BEAD) is not going to cover the costs of getting sufficient broadband to everyone AND because that funding will not be released for several years, which means Minnesota will miss some construction seasons if we don’t get state funding.
