ST. PAUL, MN –Tonight, Governor Dayton addressed a joint convention of the House and Senate to outline his vision for Minnesota. In his address, the governor made a case for his budget proposals including education investment, tax reform and economic development.
State Representative Patti Fritz (DFL-Faribault) released the following statement:
“Governor Dayton has laid out his priorities to help middle-class Minnesotans by investing in education, responsibly balancing the budget without borrowing or gimmicks and working to create jobs. I am encouraged that the governor is taking a new approach to these issues instead of the status quo that left us with budget deficits nine out of the last eleven years. I look forward to working with both Democrats and Republicans to put forward a fiscally responsible budget that helps Greater Minnesota by investing in our schools and nursing homes and providing property tax relief.”
