Rep. Peggy Scott

A "no" vote rejects the ruling of the Speaker, continues debate about the MPCA’s ability to set emission standards for motorized vehicles and equipment.

A "no" vote does not create funding and policy for key environmental issues.

A "no" vote does not fund road infrastructure improvements, promote climate-smart transportation, or provide necessary matching funds for the buildout of electric vehicle infrastructure, the expansion of accessible and viable transit options, and the growth of active transportation in communities across Minnesota

A "no" vote does not pass SF 20, agencies and programs like the DNR, MPCA are not funded, and initiatives like banning PFAS in food packaging and increasing protections for gar (a kind of fish) are not implemented.
