#RepFinstad touted his serious commitment to #veterans ... including re-introducing #HR4794 to lease a #MankatoVetCenter for 2025 & 2026 cost $1.4 million ... never mentions that 4 days earlier the House VA approved a 20 year lease for Puerto Rico $116,889,000

Would anyone be surprised if #BradFinstad did NOT mention that the #FarmBill has expired; breaching the “#DairyCliff” which could result nearly triple milk prices ?
