Koering Introduces English-Only Bill

Fort Ripley State Senator Paul Koering is about to introduce a bill that would make English the official language of the state of Minnesota. Koering said English is the language by which we communicate officially now and that should be encoded in law. Koering said people who can't communicate in English are at a disadvantage and enabling them to continue speaking in a native tongue doesn't help. The bill states that English must be used by state and local governments. Government officials and employees must use English in the scope of their employment. All government documents and records must be recorded in English.
