Senate Minority Leader Susan Kent, DFL-Woodbury, said “the updated budget projection shows we have pivotal decisions to make….”
“The legislature holds the power of the purse and it is our responsibility to be careful stewards of taxpayer dollars. It is also absolutely crucial we don’t leave anyone behind. Our budget reserves are strong because we have prepared for this through careful and thoughtful management of our state revenues. Now is the time to join together to help our neighbors by passing forward-looking legislation in order to ensure every one of us can care for our families, earn a fair return for our work, and protect the people who are protecting us during this public health emergency.”
