Budget

I will continue to work for a balanced approach to our budget shortfall. We need to make cuts, raise revenue, and stimulate jobs. We have made $3 billion in spending reductions and will need to do more, with a focus on doing the least harm to people’s lives. With the bonding bill and the investment in roads and bridges, we have stimulated thousands of jobs. But we also need to make reasonable increases in revenue by asking the wealthiest Minnesotans to pay their fair share.
