Senator Ellen Anderson is a very special person indeed. At her retirement party, speaker after speaker commented on her hard work and her leadership. Her contributions to the energy and environment areas will long be remembered. Senator Anderson was first elected in 1992, so her leaving will create a major change of leadership in the Senate.
Governor Dayton appointed Senator Anderson to the Public Utilities Commission. Congratulations are in order. With her background, the Senator from St. Paul should be an outstanding member of the PUC.
