Reupping our earlier scheduling/tardiness message. Today is going to be a bear. Our pre-meeting administrative meeting is still ongoing. When we have a more specific update on our Committee of the Whole start time, we will advise you. Again, our apologies.

We opened our meeting with a moment of silence honoring former Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman, who was assassinated earlier this week The Chairman & other CMs personally knew Speaker Hortman through the National Conference of State Legislatures. We mourn her tragic loss

On this date in 1802, the City of Washington (at that time, a distinct subset of the larger District of Columbia) elected its first City [sic] Council. It was bicameral, with a 5-seat & a 7-seat chamber. Only white male property owners were eligible to vote. 90% of them did.
