A planned in-person inauguration ceremony for several freshman Democratic state senators in Minnesota drew bipartisan criticism this week after a permit detailing the event appeared to show violations of Gov. The state’s department of administration granted a permit request filed by the Muslim American Society of Minnesota for an event entitled "Inauguration Day of MN Senators." The Jan. 5 event was scheduled to be held outside the Minnesota state capitol with an estimated crowd of 100 people. However, a source within the governor’s administration criticized the event in an interview with the Minnesota politics newsletter Morning Take. Justin Stofferahn, a Minnesota Democrat and former state senate candidate, also took aim at the event.
