(St. Paul, MN) — Democrats who control the Minnesota House passed a bill last night (Thurs) to use one billion dollars of the state’s budget surplus so 667 thousand essential workers could each get 15-hundred-dollar COVID bonuses.
But Glencoe Republican Glenn Gruenhagen called it an exercise in futility since there’s no COVID bonus bill in the Senate.
But New Hope Democrat Cedrick Frazier responded that it’s not futile to show Minnesota’s essential workers that someone cares about them.
Senate Republicans are instead pushing for permanent tax cuts which they say will help “all” Minnesota workers, not just some.
