(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.

Senate Republicans are instead pushing for permanent tax cuts which they say will help “all” Minnesota workers, not just some.
