Legislative Update from Rep. Jeff Backer

Friday, May 6, 2022

Dear Neighbors,

It was another busy week in St. Paul as we wrapped up votes on House Democrats' omnibus supplemental budget bills. A reminder that they are proposing $21 in new spending for every $1 of tax cuts/reductions. This is unacceptable and I will continue pushing to return the budget surplus back to you, the hardworking taxpayers of Minnesota.

Please take a moment to watch the two videos I recorded this week touching on the health and human services (HHS) bill and legislation providing a fix to a problem that was causing tax increases for job providers.
