The House Republicans announced a tax plan that would return over $13 billion to the taxpayers over two years, giving the hardworking taxpayers cash to provide for their families and cover the higher costs from inflation. The plastic water bottle ban gained traction in the Senate. Rep. Bliss introduced a bill that would require members who introduce gun control bills to at least have knowledge of firearms.

Republican Tax Plan

House Republicans introduced our ?Give it Back? tax plan that would return over $13 billion in tax relief over two years.?

Some highlights of the plan include:


* Fully eliminating the tax on Social Security
* A one-time child tax credit that would be available for two years
* Slashing the first tax bracket by 1%
* Slashing the second tax bracket by 1%
* An adjustment?of the homestead market value exclusion would give $35?million?a year.

With an $18 billion surplus, the time to relieve the tax burden on Minnesotans is now. The vast majority of those in our communities, contacting me have demanded it, and I?m proud to be working to return your tax dollars (the surplus) to you.
