Legislative Session: Moving Minnesota Forward?
MCN and the
Minnesota Budget Project have analyzed how budget decisions made
at the State Legislature in 2005 will impact working families and
individuals, children and youth, and populations with unique needs.
Ultimately, the final budget agreement relied on regressive
revenue increases to help avoid some of the worst of the proposed
reductions. For many of Minnesota's most vulnerable residents,
the 2005 Legislative Session represents some opportunities lost,
but also some important steps forward. (Updated to reflect
the final budget agreement.)
