Minnesota voters will decide legislative pay issue this year

ST. PAUL — Christine Leitner of St. Paul showed up on the very first day the Ramsey County elections office opened for voting to cast her ballot since she’ll be vacationing out-of-state on Election Day.

“I wanted to get it done as soon as possible so I didn’t forget,” she said.

Despite that civic-mindedness she hadn’t known there would be a constitutional amendment question — changing who decides legislators’ pay — on the ballot.
