"Revised State Budget Proposal to Increase Public Safety Funding"

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Lt. Governor Peggy Flanagan are set to announce a revised version of their budget proposal, which includes an $8 billion tax reduction package and billions in new spending on education, health care, public safety, and a start-up paid family and medical leave program. The original proposal was met with criticism from state Republican leaders who found the overall spending excessive and unfair to schools. The new proposal will be announced on Thursday morning.
