Councilmember Ryan stated after hearing that WIC and TANIF programs don't provide help
with diaper costs, this is an item he would like to discuss at the meeting with Congressman
Ellison as well. He noted he finds it unbelievable there isn't help for that necessity for children.
Mayor Willson stated the drafted list of topics is a good place to start. He stated with only an
hour of time to talk with Congressman Ellison it is important to stay on track and if time allows
they will have time for open conversation.
Mayor Willson stated there was a 60 Minutes segment called "Heroin in the Heartland"
discussing the heroin and opiate addiction epidemic. He suggested everyone watch the segment
and noted this is a topic he would like to discuss at some point with Congressman Ellison as
well.
Mr. Boganey stated the Councilmembers could make a list of items and topics they hope to
address in the near future with Congressman Ellison as well and provide that to him at the
meeting so those are on his radar. Councilmember Ryan stated he will research and get some
information on the committees that Congressman Ellison is on to prepare ahead of time so they
are aware of items possibly already on his radar.
