(ST. PAUL) — Tonight Governor Dayton delivered his State of the State address, outlining his proposals to put Minnesotans back to work, reform government, and improve Minnesota’s workforce.
Deputy Minority Leader Debra Hilstrom (DFL – Brooklyn Center) released the following statement:
“I applaud Governor Dayton’s message tonight: we must leave this state better than we found it. More than ever, Minnesotans want us to leave distractions like constitutional amendments aside and focus on issues that matter to them: creating jobs, rebuilding a strong middle class, and improving schools for our children.
“With 168,000 Minnesotans out of work, it’s time for serious actions on jobs. Governor Dayton and DFLers have introduced a jobs plan filled with common-sense ways to get tens of thousands of Minnesotans back to work and ensure that Minnesota companies and workers can compete in today’s economy.
“It’s time to get to work and do what’s best for the people we were elected to serve. I hope the Republicans will join us in this goal."
