Rep. Lippert statement on the latest Economic Forecast

Tuesday, December 7, 2021

St. Paul, MN – Today, Minnesota Management and Budget (MMB) released a new economic forecast showing a projected positive balance of $7.7 billion for the current two-year budget cycle. State Representative Todd Lippert (DFL - Northfield) issued the following statement:

“The latest budget forecast is good news for Minnesotans, but as we’ve seen throughout this pandemic, the economic recovery on paper is not necessarily being felt by everyone in our community. When we return to the Minnesota Legislature in January, it’ll be our responsibility to ensure that we use this unique opportunity to support the working families that are driving this recovery by expanding economic opportunity and building a sustainable future for all in our state.”
