Rep. Nash Statement on Growing Democrat Deficit
Saint Paul, MN - Rep. Jim Nash, (R-Waconia), issued the following statement regarding the February forecast released today by Minnesota Management and Budget, which shows a growing deficit of $6 billion.
"House Republicans warned that unchecked spending and tax increases would devastate our state budget and today’s numbers prove it. Despite record revenues, Democrats turned an $18 billion surplus into a $6 billion deficit in just two years. House Republicans are ready to clean up this mess by pushing for smart savings and cuts without forcing families to pay for Democrats fiscal mismanagement."
