(ST. PAUL, MN) –  Senate Majority Leader Paul Gazelka (R-East Gull Lake) released the following statement in response to Governor Tim Walz loosening of his restrictions on businesses implemented on November 21:  

“Thousands of families depend on the work and support these community businesses provide. Businesses shut down through no fault of their own have been advocating how they can safely reopen. I’m glad Governor Walz listened and loosened the restrictions on businesses. Now it’s vitally important Walz manage a faster vaccination process, so we don’t have to go through this again. Protecting the vulnerable with a vaccine is going to the key to reopening.”
