“Each legislative session gives lawmakers the chance to help those who need it most. During this session, like the two before, we will focus on continuing our efforts to assist those who have been most affected by the pandemic.
“Minnesotans have been impacted in every part of their lives, from housing to education to their pocketbooks. With a historic projected positive budget balance, we have a generational opportunity to make the needed investments to help Minnesotans in every corner of the state.
