Roper: Lyndale Avenue bike lane fight misses the real problem
The overhaul of a key south Minneapolis artery will make it more pleasant to visit. But we can’t afford to have construction kill small businesses.

HCMC will continue to serve patients because of @aishagomez.bsky.social & Rep. Agbaje in the House. These representatives are the heroes of the MN legislature in brokering a solution for this critical Minnesota hospital. It also would not have happened but for the advocacy of @hennepind2.com. ♥️🙏♥️

There is a rumor that the MN legislative deal involves significant cuts to LGA (local government aid).
That is untrue.
This line item is essentially the tax bill involving federal conformity and temporary corporate tax credit trades we had to make with the GOP to get the deal done.

Minnesotans deserve transparency.
A vote on Sen Mohamed’s gun violence prevention package would let the people know where their reps stand on reducing gun violence in our state.

🚨APPALLING: Minnesota Republicans are literally hiding legislation in a desk drawer to prevent it from coming up for a vote.
One of Speaker Lisa Demuth's deputies just admitted that he was "instructed not to report" a bill banning assault weapons/high-capacity magazines the Senate already passed.

Mark your calendars for May's "Coffee with Katie" event.
This'll be a great opportunity to recap the 2026 Legislative Session, hear from neighbors, and begin the work of crafting solutions to bring back to the Minnesota House.
I hope to see you there!

An emotionally challenging & also proud moment:
The MN House unanimously voted to rename MN's community solar garden (CSG) program after Speaker Emerita Hortman.
She authored the 2013 CSG bill, which caused solar to grow from 1 MW to over 3 GW today.
Just one example of the good she did for MN.💔

“There is a sound that comes out of a parent when their child dies. It’s not a cry or a scream, it’s something older than language.”

In Minnesota, we take care of each other.
The love our neighbors have shown for each other during the unconstitutional action of the federal government is a model for the country to follow.
Our bills to hold ICE accountable are rooted in that love and care.
