SHOREWOOD — Health care took front seat at Rep. Kelly Morrison’s first town hall at the Southshore Community Center Saturday, Jan. 19.

The town hall was the first of three for the DFL representative of House District 33B. The district includes parts of Chanhassen, Deephaven, Excelsior, Greenwood, Minnetonka Beach, Mound, Shorewood, Spring Park and Tonka Bay. Approximately 50 constituents attended the town hall.

“We are the only divided Legislature in the country,” she said at the outset of the town hall. “I see that as a way for Minnesota to show the country how to do this. We like to have divided governance in Minnesota so we can hash through it together.”
