Budget and Audit Updates

The Minnesota Management and Budget Office released the May Revenue Review on June 10th, which shows that net general fund revenues totaled $2.1 billion in May 2024, $304 million (16.7%) above forecast. Net receipts from all major tax types exceeded forecast. FY24 year-to-date receipts are now $26.8 billion, $561 million (2.1%) over forecast.

More information on the forecast can be found at MMB?s website here [ [link removed] ].

On Tuesday, the Legislative Auditor released its report on the Minnesota Frontline Worker Pay program, which you can find here [ [link removed] ].

As co-chair of the Legislative Audit Commission, I am dedicated to using the findings of this report and others to improve the state?s use of public dollars and looking into the recommendations contained in the audit in future sessions.
