Goggin: GOP budget addresses issues Minnesotans Care about
With only two months left in the legislative session, budget negotiations are beginning to pick up. I wanted to give you a brief update on where things stand.
Gov. Walz has proposed a $49 billion budget that raises the gas tax, tab fees, motor vehicle sales taxes, and more. He also raises $122 million in fees on things such as teacher licenses, school administrators, boating registrations, cross country ski passes, water permit fees, and more. Democrats in the House are pushing to raise income taxes, estate taxes, and capital gains taxes.
