Power to the People C'mon

Ok, time to put those reps to good use:

MN has some protections, but not the encouragement of the all important tax breaks. I can say from personal experience that a supportive workplace that has multiple mother's rooms (with fridges and sinks), access to a hospital grade pump, and covers breastpumps (thats new this year) has made breastfeeding a very easy choice for me. My only complaint is that knowing about the resources is like being a special club, and most managers/HR isn't even aware they exist.

So, put democracy to work for you, and ask that they move the bill along.
