We need to make a change!

Despite spending at least $250 million to modernize its system, Social Security still relies on 45-year-old job titles to deny thousands of disability claims.

We are sad to hear of the loss of Sen. Johnson.

We were saddened to learn of the passing of former Sen. Doug Johnson.

Sen. Johnson served on the Iron Range Resources & Rehabilitation Board from 1973 to 2002, including several terms as board chair and vice chair. He worked tirelessly to expand and diversify the economy of the Iron Range. Sen. Johnson was instrumental in the passage of the Taconite Production Tax and in drawing several customer service centers to the region. In recognition of his efforts, the Douglas J. Johnson Economic Protection Trust Fund bears his name.

He was a friend to our region, our agency and our employees. May he rest in peace.

--Commissioner Mark Phillips and the employees of Iron Range Resources & Rehabilitation
