Senator Mike Goggin (R-Red Wing) today released the following statement in response to Gov. Tim Walz’s announcement that he would ease Covid restrictions on some businesses.

“I am glad the governor is easing restrictions. This will be good for businesses and their employees, but we have to go further. These businesses have proven time after time that they know how to operate safely. Let’s let them reopen following CDC safety protocols like big box stores can, so these folks can get back to work right away.”
