PRESS RELEASE
Rep. Myhra Responds to Governor Dayton's Budget
St. Paul, MN—Yesterday Governor Mark Dayton revealed his budget plan for Minnesota. His plan calls for a $4.1 billion tax increase and would result in Minnesota having the highest and third highest personal income tax rates in the nation. Additionally, the Governor’s budget expands government and increases spending 22% over current levels.
"The record breaking tax increases in the Governor's proposed budget will not drive our state economy forward," Myhra said Tuesday, "But will bind, rather than unleash the entrepreneurial spirit of small businesses and job-creators." Myhra added, "Minnesota should lead the nation in innovation and reform - not higher taxes."
While states across the nation are reigning in out-of-control spending, Governor Dayton's budget proposes to increase spending to unsustainable levels. Governor Dayton's proposed budget sends the wrong message to the global marketplace. To ignite the economy and spur job growth, state government needs to demonstrate fiscal discipline by limiting spending and exercising restraint on burdening job-creators with record breaking tax increases.
