Minnesota Chamber President's View:
Unbridled Spending Won't Result in Another 'Minnesota Miracle'
| |
|
DULUTH NEWS TRIBUNE: This is in sharp contrast to the process and discourse we see today. Minnesota’s latest session was guided by new mandates, new taxes, expanded government regulations, and a growing appetite for new government spending. It lacks economic foresight to drain an $18 billion surplus while increasing taxes by $10 billion and spending by 33%. | |
A Chamber of Commerce Kind of Day! | |
As Chamber President Ken Warner likes to say, it was a “Chamber of Commerce kind of day!” Special thanks to Greg Snow, Robby Denzel, and their team at Eagle Creek Golf Club and The Oaks, Dan Schell, the Ambassador Committee, and the Golf Classic Sub-Committee (Chair Doug Kuehnast, Jeff Jensen, Mary Hagen, Connor Hutton, Julie Anderson, Kris Gulbrandsen, Lisa Groff, and Dawn Lippert) for their support in pulling off another fantastic Golf Classic! Congratulations to the Jon Beaver Agency American Family Insurance Team: Jon Beaver, Mike Sixta, Evan Porttiin, and Joe Mohagen for taking first place (score of -15). | |
