Newsmakers: Rep. Frazier Recaps Legislative Session
DFL Lawmakers have called the 2023 legislative session “historic.”
Rep. Cedrick Frazier, DFL-New Hope, spoke to CCX News about some of the highlights, including the education bill, funding for the Bottineau Blue Line LRT project, red flag gun laws and cannabis legalization.
“It’s historic because we’re investing billions — with a ‘B’ — into our educational system,” Frazier said. “We’ve known for a long time, probably for about a decade, we were balancing the state budget on the backs of our kids. And now we’re trying to play catch up.”
Frazier is now in his second term representing New Hope in the House of Representatives.
