NEWS RELEASE

Statement from Speaker of the House Kurt Zellers on Governor Dayton/DFL Jobs Plan


"While I concur with Governor Dayton's goal to create more jobs in Minnesota, I disagree with an approach that spends more money without addressing needed reform and relies on short-term bonding projects to grow our economy. The plan fails to address critical reforms businesses have told us they need to create jobs such as reducing the regulatory burden and creating a more competitive tax climate. His efforts to fund job placement will be in vain without new and expanding businesses," said Speaker of the House Kurt Zellers. "Business women and men around the state need more assurance in the ability to create opportunity by cutting the red tape and getting government out of the way. Republicans in the Minnesota House look forward to working with Governor Dayton during the 2012 session on a plan that will restore confidence in our economy and encourage business to hire, relocate and expand in Minnesota."
