13:10Now PlayingOn a divided 39-24 vote, the Senate approved a supplemental budget bill that allocates nearly $500 million dollars to several state initiatives. Among the big items, $91 million dollars is designated for programs to curb economic disparities among racial groups. Another $85 million dollars is directed at expanding broadband in Minnesota. E-12 Education and Higher Education would receive an additional $96 million dollars, and health and human services programs would gain an additional $43 million dollars.
Senate Republicans attempted to direct the nearly $500 million dollars to funding transportation improvements, but their proposed change to the bill failed to gain enough DFL support.
The video features the final comments from Senate Republican Leader David Hann, R-Eden Prairie, and Senate Finance Chair Richard Cohen, DFL-St. Paul.
