Small business owners could cut health care costs with targeted tax credits, expanded risk pools and more predictable premiums under legislation offered by U.S. Sen. Norm Coleman.

Coleman, R-Minn., will be in Bemidji on Friday to hear from local employers on health care issues and take input on his bill.

He will meet with local entrepreneurs, small business employees and community officials 1:15-2:45 p.m. at Bemidji City Hall. He comes to Bemidji after holding similar sessions Friday morning at Hutchinson and Marshall.
