(St. Paul, MN) — Negotiations likely resume at the State Capitol today (Monday) over House Democrats’ proposed 75-cent statewide fee for deliveries — with that provision not in Senate Democrats’ transportation bill.

Hospitality Minnesota C-E-O Angie Whitcomb warns a delivery fee will hit those who can’t afford it including the elderly and homebound Minnesotans and busy family, single-parent households.

Governor Tim Walz says he’s made it clear that he wants to see ongoing revenue for transportation, but the proposed delivery fee is not in his budget.
