Dear Neighbor,
We have spent the last several months discussing top priorities for the new session and it was nice to get things going at the Capitol this week so we can officially begin working on solutions.
This year, everything seems to center on the opportunity to deliver tax relief to Minnesotans unlike anything we have ever seen.
Countless proposals will be offered for how to appropriate these surplus dollars. It’s important to remember this surplus only exists because the state over-collected from taxpayers and tax relief – permanent tax relief – should be a top priority this year. Anything less would be an injustice to Minnesotans. Let’s start by ending the state tax on social security and eliminating the unemployment insurance tax increase businesses are facing if our Legislature fails to act.
I will do my best to keep you up to speed on the issues as we make our way through the session. For now, here are some other links provided by the Minnesota House of Representatives I think you’ll find helpful in tracking the Legislature:
As always, your feedback is welcome. welcomes throughout the session, I encourage District 5A residents to call (651) 296-5516 or email rep.matt.bliss@house.mn to get in touch.
Sincerely,
Matt
