[ST. PAUL, MN] – Governor Tim Walz released the following statement celebrating the historic 2023 Minnesota Legislative Session.
Statement from Governor Walz:
“The work we’ve done over the last five months will make a generational impact on our state – it will lower costs, improve lives, and cut child poverty.
“In January I outlined a vision to make Minnesota the best state in the nation for kids to grow up in. The DFL-led legislature delivered on that promise.
“We’re going to put resources behind the educators that teach our children. We’re going to rebuild our roads. And we’re going to give money directly back to Minnesotans who need it most, whether through direct checks or the child tax credit.
“None of this could have happened without the tireless, consistent leadership of Speaker Hortman and Majority Leader Dziedzic. Because of their work, Minnesota is leading the nation on climate, on gun safety, and protecting women’s rights. I will be incredibly proud to sign this budget into law.”
