SAINT PAUL, Minn. – Today, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz announced his two-year budget proposal focused on the state’s COVID-19 recovery.
Rep. Rob Ecklund (DFL – International Falls) released the following statement:
“In this budget proposal, Governor Walz shows his commitment to helping everyone in our state build back better from this pandemic. It’s a good starting point that recognizes some of the difficulties Minnesotans are facing, including a lack of broadband access, learning difficulties for students, and hardship for small businesses. The February budget forecast will give us some more clarity on what our state’s economic picture looks like. I’m optimistic that we can all work together this session to enact a balanced budget that helps us recover from COVID-19, while investing in what Minnesota workers, families, businesses, and communities need to succeed over the long haul.”
