Neighbors,
Late last week, legislative leaders and Governor Walz agreed on the supplemental budget framework for the 2024 session. The budget allows lawmakers to address the most urgent challenges impacting working families and communities. In addition, it maintains our stable economic budgeting into future years. This joint budget framework allows lawmakers to address pressing statewide challenges, including new opportunities for pre-K education, boosting pensions for dedicated teachers throughout our state, and more.
In this session focusing on crafting a bonding bill, we are committed to investing in statewide infrastructure projects to help communities protect access to safe drinking water, fix roads and bridges, encouraging innovation at our colleges, universities, and tech schools, getting tools to our first responders so they can answer the call during emergencies, and help all Minnesota communities thrive.
As we near the May 20th adjournment, I am still interested to hear about your priorities this session. Through March 31, please take a few minutes to fill out my 2024 legislative survey and thank you for making your voice heard!
