State Sen. Schmit among league's "most responsive legislators"
The League of Minnesota Cities has selected 28 state lawmakers, including State Sen. Matt Schmit of Red Wing, as Legislators of Distinction for 2015. The honor recognizes legislators for specific actions that aided efforts of Minnesota cities during the past year’s legislative session.
Legislators of Distinction are approved annually by the league’s board of directors to recognize that in order to successfully serve shared constituents, state and city officials must work together to meet the unique needs of rural, suburban, and urban residents all across Minnesota.
