Rep. Carlson on State Budget Forecast

Thursday, December 9, 2021

St. Paul, MN - Minnesota Management and Budget (MMB) released their budget forecast on Tuesday, showing a projected $7.7 billion dollar surplus. State Representative Andrew Carlson (DFL – Bloomington) released the following statement.

β€œThe budget news is a bright spot during a challenging time. We welcome the news and acknowledge we would not be in this positive place without the hard work of so many Minnesotans and strategic decisions of the legislature and governor. It is time to make important and needed investments in our middle class and help those who have been impacted by COVID-19. I look forward to our 2022 legislative session convening in January and will continue to advocate for our kids, affordable housing, accessible health care and the other priorities that enrich the lives of all Minnesotans.”
