MAG Special Forces Team

The MAG 'special forces' team is a group of MAG members that commit to meeting with representatives face to face at the state capital. Today, our special forces team member, 1LT John Hobot, had this to report:

We met today and went over our strategy on how we are going to get support
for the bill.  There will be talking points and themes put together for the
next MAG meeting.

Basically we are going to sell HF 558 as:
- A great way to create economic development and jobs for Minnesota.
- Creates an environment to create new opportunities for veterans.
- Veterans bring new skills and talents to our Minnesota workforce.
- Wisconsin is far more veteran friendly than Minnesota and we should model
HF 558 off of what Wisconsin is doing.
