Special Session Update ~ Passed!!

It’s an awesome morning! I really tried to stay awake and find out what was happening with the bill last night but finally gave up. However I was greeted this morning with a wonderful note from Mr. McGrath:

“AGRICULTURE AND ENVIRONMENT BILL $780 million budget for agriculture and environmental programs including repealing venue restrictions for cottage food sales and raising the annual sales limit to $18,000.
— Passes DFL-controlled Senate 38-29.
— Passes GOP-controlled House 78-47.”

Here’s an article that was updated an hour ago: Special Session Deal Reached

Also you can see more information on the Minnesota State Legislature site.

Now we are back to waiting for the Governor to sign the bill, which he promises to do today. I don’t know about you all but I am breathing a HUGE sigh of relief this morning, but at the same time holding my breath until it’s actually signed. How crazy!

Have a fantastic weekend!
