Capitol Review: Daley Introduces Senate Bill to Extend License Expirations for Military Service Persons
State Sen. Ted Daley (R-District 38) of Eagan and Burnsville was the chief author of the bill.
Editor's note: Capitol Review is a weekly look at what your state legislators are doing at the Minnesota Capitol—how they're voting, the bills they're writing and the issues they're getting behind. Come back to Eagan Patch every Monday for a new Capitol Review.
Here’s what’s happened this past week with bills authored or co-authored by local legislators:
State Sen. Ted Daley (R-District 38) of Eagan and Burnsville
- Daley chief authored bill SF0395, which would extend driver's license expiration for military services persons.

- Daley held in-district “office hours” at the Wescott Library in Eagan on
Saturday, Feb. 19 from noon to 2 p.m.
State. Rep. Doug Wardlow (R-District 38B) of Eagan
- Wardlow co-authored several new bills this past week: HF0601; a bill that would allow "optional disclosure of public appraisals provided by a government entity," HF0556; a bill that would amend provisions for juvenile prostitutes in need of protection or services, "sexually exploited youth defined, prostitution crime penalty assessments increased, and distribution of the assessment amended; prostitution laws provisions clarified and recodified, and definitions modified; money appropriated to the commissioner of public safety to develop a statewide victim services model," HF0507; a bill that would allow agricultural land, nonhomesteaded, noncommercial real property owners, and small business property owners to vote on bonding and property tax questions where their land is situated.

The "office hours" held by the Senator on Saturday, February 19, are noted here in this Feb. 21 posting, but where was the advance notice given? They seem similar to the district meetings promised by Rep. Wardlow, notable after the fact or in their absence. That seems to guarantee a small and/or friendly crowd, if any. In the novel "Catch 22", Major Major, an officer in the hero's flight squadron, holds office hours only when he is "out". If he's in, no office hours are to be held. I wonder if this similarity is intended.

Sen. Ted Daley did send a release regarding the "office hours" prior to Feb. 19, however, it did not get posted to the site until this Capitol Review story. My apologies. Please look at our "Events" section going forward; events such as this will be posted there. As user Margo Danner posted on the site earlier, Daley will be at City Hall this evening as the Eagan Art House is holding an informational arts meeting with him at 6:30 p.m. and it will be a time to express your views on the arts. Thank you!
