Minnesota State Senator Satveer Chaudhary <br /> <br />Senator Chaudhary updated Council on the events taking place in the legislature. He noted he <br />was elected to the House of Representatives before being elected to Senate and then gave an <br />overview of some of the things he worked on while in the House of Representatives. <br />Senator Chaudhary told Council he has been appointed to several major committees and that <br />education is his number one issue. The committees he has been appointed to are the K-12 <br />Budget Division, renamed the E-12 Budget Division, the Education Technology Committee, two <br />separate Transportation Committees, Transportation Policy and Budget Division, and the Crime <br />Prevention Committee. Senator Chaudhary told Council one of the major issues facing the <br />legislature is what to do with the budget surplus. Another issue is the Governor's tax reform <br />plan. The third major issue is re-districting. Initial observations have shown that both rural <br />Minnesota as well as the metropolitan area will have lost population and will lose districts and <br />there will be additional districts added in the suburbs. <br />
