ST. PAUL – Rep. Jeff Backer, R-Browns Valley, issued the following statement regarding the release of the state's new economic forecast on Friday, which calls for a $1.4 billion surplus for the upcoming biennium, starting in July 2017.
“We need to help people with tax relief to reduce the load on Minnesotans,” Backer said. “This is a call for the governor to work with the Legislature this time around instead of and vetoing a good tax bill like he did earlier this year that would have provided hundreds of millions in relief to help families and Main Street businesses all across our state.”
