While this is an important step, there is more work ahead to make meaningful tax relief permanent for Minnesota taxpayers.

These changes strengthen oversight in high-risk programs and help ensure taxpayer dollars are used as intended.

A couple weeks ago, I attended Memorial Day programs in Herman and at the Fergus Falls Veterans Home, joining community members in honoring those who gave their lives in service to our country. I am grateful for the veterans and volunteers who ensure we continue to remember and reflect on the sacrifices made for our freedoms.
