Speaker Thissen statement on Senate Republicans’ delay of middle-class tax cuts

Thursday, March 20, 2014

Saint Paul, Minnesota – Speaker Paul Thissen released the following statement.

“All along, the goal of the House has been to move quickly to pass middle-class tax cuts for nearly one million Minnesotans. It is urgent that we move forward because thousands of Minnesotans are filing their taxes every day.  

It is unfortunate that Senate Republicans decided to unnecessarily delay action on these tax cuts today. It is my hope that Republicans will stop playing games so that we can continue our work to provide urgent tax cuts to Minnesotans.”
