Unfortunately, Amy Klobuchar decided to attend and praise Mary Jo as well. I say unfortunately because Senator Klobuchar decided to coauthor a bill to raise H1B Visas from 85,000 per year to 300,000 per year. I don't like hypocrisy. Praising work to help the homeless while working to create more homeless people strikes me as very hypocritical.

required for government grants. I was surprised but glad she was chosen.
