Legislative Update

As we cross the finish line for this legislative session Democrats have rushed a number of damaging legislative changes though with little to no Republican input. Here are just a few of the terrible bills we have heard in the past few days:


* *The Largest Tax Increase in State History *Combining all of the tax increases passed this week democrats are costing Minnesotans almost $10 billion MORE per biennium on top of the $17.5 billion surplus.
* *Growing Government* Over 40% growth in state government spending, the largest increase in decades.
* *Increased Motor Vehicle Fees* Nearly doubling of the motor vehicle sales tax and increasing tab fees for all motorists.
* *Broken Promises on Rebate Checks *Last summer Governor Walz was promising $2,000 rebait checks, but now that they?ve spent through the entire surplus and then some that number is all the way down to $260.
* *Killing Local Charities *Changes to E-Pull Tabs will limit their profitability hurting the local charities they fund and our small businesses that host them.
* *Speech Registry *A new database at the Department of Human Rights will keep records of reported hateful speech and disinformation as determined by the reporting person and the department.
* *Crushing Mandates for Schools *Added mandates for schools cost more than new investments leaving many districts short as they begin to budget for the coming years.
* *Attacks on the Second Amendment *With bipartisan opposition both Red Flag Law and Universal Background Checks were added into the Public Safety Bill.
