Legislative Update

The Legislature is marching toward its May 18 constitutional adjournment. Please contact your legislators and encourage them to make sure our priorities are included in the final bills. 

 

Negotiations begin for end-of-session deal
Governor Dayton (DFL), Senate Majority Leader Tom Bakk (DFL) and House Speaker Kurt Daudt (R) will now start the difficult task of finding the sweet spot for a compromise on the FY 2016-17 budget. The big items in play are the overall general fund permanent spending increase; the total amount of tax reductions; and transportation funding - new taxes versus general fund resources. There are wide differences among the three bodies, but the Senate is more in alignment with the Governor's spending and transportation tax increases.
