I enjoyed participating in the #metcouncil #stateoftheregion yesterday. Interesting and informative conversations were had about the future of the region and opportunities for collaboration.

Busy day today. Had a meeting with Rep. Alex Falconer @alexfalconrt to discuss Minnetonka priorities. Later, I attended the #MetCouncil #StateoftheRegion, ran into Henn Co Commisioner @heatheredelson, and met Rep. Brad Tabke and Met Council Member Robert Lilligren.

Hey @jpkolb, next time you're at the #mnleg to rip on the #MetCouncil, let your rep know in advance so he can get you a floor pass. :-)
