St. Paul, MN – Today, Minnesota Management and Budget (MMB) released the 2019 November Budget and Economic Forecast with a predicted balance of $1.3 billion for the current biennium. Rep. Dan Wolgamott (DFL – St. Cloud) released the following statement in response to the forecast:
“Responsible legislating calls for prudent investments, and the recent budget forecast drives that point home even more. This balance, when combined with estimated inflation, will lead to deficits in future fiscal years and jeopardize our ability to provide Minnesotans with the resources they deserve, such as world-class schools, quality health care, and safe infrastructure. I remain committed to crafting and supporting smart legislation that builds a stronger Minnesota for everyone.”
