State Rep. Steve Drazkowski, who voted against COVID-19 relief, received PPP loan for his business, data showA shoe company owned by state Rep. Steve Drazkowski, R-Mazeppa, was among Minnesota businesses that received a Paycheck Protection Program loan, according to data released by the Small Business Administration on Tuesday.
Ron-San, Inc., a Winona shoe store that operates under the name of Baker Shoes, received $5,800. The loans are low-interest and forgivable as long as they are used to keep workers employed.
Drazkowski, who is listed as owner and officer of the company, has been a vocal critic of government spending to assist Minnesota businesses and individuals hurt by the pandemic.
Drazkowski is part of the New House Republicans House Caucus, a four-member group that favors smaller government.
In May, he voted against a $208 million COVID-19 financial relief plan the Legislature approved that provided assistance, including $55 million in small-business emergency loans.
