Senator Dahl stated that he has made a oo~mitment to deal with <br />deficit without raising taxes or cutting education aids. Senator Dahl stated <br />that he is aware of Ramsey's ooncerns regarding the landfill; it has been <br />his p~ivilege to work for a strong Superfund; and he voted to resist all <br />amendments to weaken the Superfund in the last legislative session. With <br />respect to the Ru~ River Bridge Crossing, Senator Dahl stated that it is <br />difficult to obtain special legislation for funds for a specific highway but he <br />does have a good working relationship with the C~mmissioner of the Dep~rtment <br />of Transportation and he is willing to meet with him regarding this matter. <br />Senator Dahl stated that he was the chief author of the 'Lemon New Car Bill' <br />and he wants to see those same protections provided for used car buyers. <br />Senator Dahl stated that he is also working on legislation to assist farmers as <br />the Federal Farm Bill was less than hoped for. Senator Dab/ stated that he is <br />researching a program whereby State revenues that do not have to be spent <br />i~mediately ~ould be deposited in rural banks with the understanding that those <br />funds be used to make short term operating loans to farmers. Senator Dahl <br />stated that he is also working on: legislation to prohibit merchants from <br />adding a surcharge to credit card purchases, enoouraging pension fund <br />investiment, establishing a Minnesota 'C' Capital Fund to assist businesses in <br />getting started, p~rk legislation in Anoka County, bank legislation, watershed <br />board legislation, cleaning up Crooked Lake and storm shelters and tie-downs <br />for mobile home residences. Senator Dab/ stated that he hopes the positive <br />relationship between he and Ramsey will oontinue in the 1986 Legislative <br />Session and he will work to address Ramsey's oonoerns. <br /> <br />Councilmember Reimann referred to Senator Bahls mention of a program to deposit <br />State money with rural banks and inquired as to the oonsequences if the State <br />does not get paid back. <br /> January 28, 1986 <br /> <br />Page 5 of 18 <br /> <br /> <br />
