PUBLIC SAFETY, BONDING, AND MARIJUANA.

>> MADAM SPEAKER!

MADAM SPEAKER!

MADAM SPEAKER!

GONNA BE A LONG DAY, MADAM SPEAKER!

>> IT'S GONNA BE A LONG WEEK, MADAM SPEAKER!

>> WE RISE TO BE RECOGNIZED ON THE QUESTION!

>> Mary: A LONG WEEK WHEN LEGISLATIVE LEADERS WANTED TO TRY TO FINISH EARLY, BUT THAT'S DIFFICULT AFTER MARATHON OVERNIGHT SESSIONS FOR BILLS LIKE THE PUBLIC SAFETY PACKAGE WITH GUN CONTROL.

>> ONE OF THE MOST CONTROVERSIAL BILLS THAT WE WILL DEBATE ON THE HOUSE FLOOR.

>> IF YOU ASK THE PEOPLE THAT SHOW UP IN THE RED T-SHIRTS HERE, THEIR END GOAL IS MAKING SURE THAT NOBODY HAS A GUN.

AND YOU KNOW WHAT THAT DOES?

IT JUST MAKES VICTIMS OUT OF ALL OF US.

>> THIS SESSION WE ARE SEEING BROKEN PROMISE AFTER BROKEN PROMISE AFTER BROKEN PROMISE.

AND IT'S MINNESOTANS WHO WILL END UP PAYING THAT PRICE.

>> Mary: THE BILL ALSO INCLUDES RECRUITING AND RETAINING POLICE OFFICERS ALONG WITH JUVENILE RESTORATIVE JUSTICE EFORMS.

>> FOLKS CARE ABOUT PUBLIC SAFETY FOR ALL, WHETHER YOU'RE ON THE SIDE WHO HAS A BADGE OR THE INNOCENT VICTIMS THAT ARE BEING TAKEN AWAY.

IT TALKS ABOUT COMMUNICATION, HAVING CONVERSATION.

HAVING HEALING.

>> I CAME HERE TO DOT RIGHT THING.

THIS BILL IS THE RIGHT THING.

SO, NO, I DIDN'T GET PLAYED.

I DIDN'T LOSE.

WE DIDN'T LOSE.

THIS IS A DARN GOOD ILL. WE DID THE WORK.

WE DID IT IN A GOOD WAY.

>> OUR CONSTITUENTS DO DESERVE PUBLIC SAFETY.

AND THIS BILL PROVIDES PUBLIC SAFETY TO EVERY MINNESOTAN IN EVERY CORNER OF OUR STATE.

THIS IS A TRANSFORMATIONAL AND HISTORIC BILL.

>> Mary: TENSIONS FLARED, TRYING TO FIND A SUPERMAJORITY TO BORROW FOR A BONDING BILL FOR STATE CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS.

>> PUT NO MONEY IN THE ACCOUNT FOR IT.

AND YOU COME ON HERE, YOU TALK LIKE YOU'RE FUNDING CLEAN WATER.

AND YOU'RE NOT.

AND YOU HAVEN'T.

FOR THE MAJORITY OF THE COMMUNITIES ACROSS THE STATE -- >> Mr. CHAIRMAN.

>> -- THERE IS NO FUNDING -- >> Mr. CHAIRMAN, SENATOR DRAHEIM, I FUNDED THOSE PROJECTS.

I FUNDED THIS PROGRAM IN 669.

THAT'S THE BILL THAT YOU REJECTED.

AND I RESENT YOU ACCUSING ME OF NOT FUNDING PROJECTS!

I WOULD LOVE TO FUND THOSE PROJECTS.

BUT YOU HAVE TO VOTE FOR THE DAMN BILL.

>> AND LAWMAKERS IRINED OUT THE DETAILS OF MAJOR MARIJUANA LEGISLATION.

IRONED OUT.

>> WE LANDED ON A 10% TAX TOTAL.

>> I APPRECIATE A CHANGE THAT WAS MADE IN TERMS OF APPROPRIATING MONEY TO THE OFFICE OF TRAFFIC SAFETY TO HELP FUND DRUG RECOGNITION TRAINING FOR PEACE OFFICERS.

I THINK THAT'S GOING TO BE REALLY CRITICAL.

>> AGAIN, THIS BILL HAS ALWAYS BEEN ABOUT ENSURING THAT THE FOLKS WHO HAVE BEEN MOST HARMED BY PROHIBITION, DUE TO ENFORCEMENT, ARE ABLE TO BENEFIT >> TO GET THIS BILL TO THIS PLACE IS ENORMOUS.
