STATEMENT FROM SENATE MAJORITY LEADER AMY KOCH ON LCPFP MEETING ON DAYTON AMINISTRATION’S PLANS FOR POSSIBLE GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN

(St. Paul) -- Senate Majority Leader Amy Koch (R-Buffalo) issued the following statement regarding the Legislative Commission on Planning and Fiscal Policy (LCPFP) meeting on the Dayton administration’s plans for a possible government shutdown.

“According to recent media reports, Governor Mark Dayton’s administration has been compiling ‘a shutdown plan largely in secret,’ and the details of these shutdown plans have yet to be publicly released. The lack of transparency by the Dayton administration is unacceptable. The citizens of Minnesota deserve to know who will be affected most by Governor Dayton’s decision to shutdown state government.”

The LCPFP will meet next on Wednesday, June 15, 2011 in Room 10 of the State Office Building
