RELEASE: Rep. Considine statement on state budget agreement

Sunday, May 19, 2019

SAINT PAUL, Minn. – Tonight, Governor Tim Walz and legislative leaders reached agreement on an outline for a new two-year state budget.

In response, Rep. Jack Considine (DFL – Mankato) issued the following statement:

“Under divided government, I’m proud that Governor Walz and legislative leaders were able to reach a budget agreement on time. The Governor and Speaker Hortman showed tremendous leadership by ensuring we boost investments in education and protect health care funding for low-income and vulnerable Minnesotans.

“Compromise by nature means no single side gets everything they want and there’s some work left to do. One example is a comprehensive transportation solution, which remains elusive. I remain committed to solving this problem and others so we can truly make Minnesota work better for everyone.”
