3:30Now PlayingSenate Minority Leader Mark Johnson addressed the Senate Wednesday, March 22, in response to the budget targets set by Governor Tim Walz and DFL leaders. Of the $17.5 billion budget surplus, the Governor and leaders specified that $3 billion be used for tax relief, with the remaining amount directed to state funding efforts, including $2.35 billion for early education, children and families, $2.2 billion for E-12 education, about $1 billion for transportation, and $1 billion for housing.
"With nearly $18 billion dollars in surplus, the Democratic party here is growing government by 30 percent," said Johnson. "Pare down this budget, pare down these targets to represent the needs of Minnesotans," he said.
In response, Assistant Majority Leader Nick Frentz said, "What Minnesotans wanted was a budget that supported education, that supported working men and women of Minnesota, and that's what this Senate, the House and the Governor are going to deliver."
