Statement on Governor Dayton’s State of the State

Wednesday, April 30, 2014

St. Paul, Minnesota — Tonight Governor Dayton delivered his State of the State address, outlining his proposals to build on the state’s economic momentum and strengthen Minnesota.

Rep. Mary Sawatzky (DFL – Willmar) released the following statement:

 “Minnesota is moving forward and Governor Dayton outlined a clear, positive vision for where we need to go in the future. We have made a lot of progress in the last two years, moving from a deficit to a surplus with a strong and growing economy, enacting all-day K, property tax relief, economic development, and freezing college tuition, but we know there is more work to do. After a decade of cuts and disinvestment in Minnesota’s middle class, we’re changing course and working to build a brighter future both now and for years to come.

“With Governor Dayton’s leadership, we’re on the right track. I look forward to continuing work to build on our progress.”
