THIS WEEK: The first and second committee deadlines in the Minnesota Legislature are both at 5:00 p.m. on Friday, April 4. All legislation that is not a major appropriation and finance bill must be acted on by committees before this deadline.
MORE: via MPR News, VERBATIM: “Crunch time has arrived at the Minnesota Capitol as the Legislature puts thousands of bills through a funnel, including budget requests and some proposals seeking a state lift for sports stadium renovations…It’s all coming amid repeat warnings from politicians of a tight budget and a partisan layout that could make anything nonessential a tougher endeavor…Leaders of the House and Senate both released their budget frameworks in recent days. Lawmakers will spend the next few weeks filling in the details, but the competing plans share an intention of shaving projected spending by hundreds of millions of dollars in the next two years.
That could make it far more difficult for items that aren’t deemed critical.” READ: https://fluence-media.co/4lbHgv4
BUDGET: via House Session Daily, VERBATIM: “With all session committee deadlines less than two weeks away, House leaders announced an agreement Saturday on committee finance targets while crafting a spending plan for the 2026-27 biennium. The agreement calls for an almost $1.16 billion reduction in General Fund spending, including $300 million in human services and $50 million in both health and workforce. … STEPHENSON: ‘Democrats and Republicans in the Minnesota House were able to agree on a budget framework that responsibly slows expenditures in areas that are growing faster than the rate of inflation. This is a responsible approach that ensures budget stability now and into the future, helping to avoid dramatic cuts to essential services down the road,’ Rep. Zack Stephenson (DFL-Coon Rapids) said.” READ: https://fluence-media.co/3RtFHuW TARGETS: https://fluence-media.co/4iOzfLd
MORE: via Star Tribune, VERBATIM: “To stave off a looming deficit, Minnesota Senate Democrats released a budget framework Friday that includes up to $2.5 billion in spending reductions over the next four years. … The Senate DFL plan calls for health and human services spending to be reduced by as much as $1.3 billion over the next four years. It also calls for as much as $687 million in education spending reductions in the 2028-2029 budget cycle. … But committees in the DFL-controlled Senate could also choose to raise revenue through taxes or fees, which could minimize the extent of potential spending cuts.” READ: https://fluence-media.co/4iNCy5c TARGETS: https://fluence-media.co/4j1pVDk
WFH: via MPR News, VERBATIM: “Around 500 Minnesota state employees protested Saturday, calling on DFL Gov. Tim Walz to reverse course on a policy to require more in-office work. The governor says having more employees spend at least half their time at their workplaces will improve communication and collaboration.

DFL CHAIR: via MPR News, VERBATIM: “Longtime political strategist Richard Carlbom was elected Saturday as the new [DFL] party chair. He replaces Ken Martin, who is leaving after being chosen this year for the Democratic National Committee's top post. Martin had been DFL chair since 2011. … Most recently, Carlbom has been deputy chief of staff to DFL Gov. Tim Walz. But he's held many other roles around the party and various political campaigns. Carlbom is the former mayor of St. Joseph and also led the campaign that defeated a constitutional amendment which would have banned same-sex marriage in Minnesota.” READ: https://fluence-media.co/4lafYFD

State agencies requested $4.7 billion. … Some in the Legislature say a bill is needed with at least $1 billion for infrastructure projects. But new revenue numbers released earlier this month…reduced the state’s bonding capacity for this year to $700 million, down from $790 million. … Legislative leaders on the bonding legislation are in talks with Gov. Tim Walz’s administration about passing a larger bonding package this year and, perhaps, a smaller one in 2026.” READ: https://fluence-media.co/4hW0Okv
SALES TAX: via MinnPost, VERBATIM: “Gov. Tim Walz wants to tax people when they get financial and legal advice. … Critics say [it] hurts vulnerable residents while leaving businesses unscathed…but Walz’s revenue team says it would make the state tax system fairer, adding over $200 million a year to state coffers [while] slightly decreasing the state’s sales tax rate from 6.5% to 6.425%. … Under the plan, a Minnesotan who purchases accounting, banking, financial brokerage or legal services would pay state sales tax. … The Revenue Department estimates that, thanks to the lower overall rate, the average Minnesota family would pay $37 less a year in sales taxes, assuming they do not hire legal or professional services. If they do use such services, a family is projected to pay $550 more in taxes.” READ: https://fluence-media.co/4iR8llY
MORE: via Pioneer Press, VERBATIM: “With a $456 million surplus for 2026-27 and a shortfall of $6 billion for the following two years, the state has to have a balanced budget, so the Legislature will either have to make spending cuts or raise taxes.

MORE: via Star Tribune, VERBATIM: “Shoppers in the Twin Cities seven-county metro paid $677 million in additional sales taxes in 2024 after Minnesota lawmakers approved a 1% hike to fund housing and transportation projects.

FRAUD: via Star Tribune, VERBATIM: “A Minnesota Star Tribune analysis of hundreds of federal court cases identified about $266 million that ended up in the hands of convicted and alleged fraudsters in the past five years. … Of all Minnesotans charged in federal court for pandemic-related fraud, 3 in 4 are connected to the sprawling investigation of the [Feeding Our Future] nonprofit. … Feeding Our Future [also] accounted for 94% of the money in Minnesota pandemic fraud cases prosecuted in federal court.” READ: https://fluence-media.co/4c7aHdG
ELECTIONS: via KSTP, VERBATIM: “President Donald Trump issued an executive order [last] week to effectively put more control of election law in the hands of the executive branch, [but] Minnesota Secretary of State Steve Simon is pushing back. … Trump threatens to take away federal funding for elections for any state that doesn’t comply with the order. Simon is considering joining a lawsuit against the order because the U.S. Constitution puts control of elections in the hands of the states and Congress, not the executive branch.” SIMON: “Any president can’t just wish away laws that Congress passes and that state legislatures pass. They’re the ones [who] say what the rules are. … You can’t just wish it away by waving a wand and an executive order.” READ/WATCH: https://fluence-media.co/420sdM0

VERBATIM: “Ellison's spokesperson John Stiles said in a statement to the Star Tribune that the trip was a ‘working seminar’ [covering] gender-based violence and human trafficking, public health, intellectual property rights and data privacy, among other topics. He said another human trafficking summit put on by the [same group] brought attorneys general to Minneapolis in January 2024.” STILES: “I doubt any of them considered a trip to Minneapolis in January a luxury. … I can assure you that the number of corporate representatives he’s heard from is vastly dwarfed by the number of regular folks he hears from.” READ: https://fluence-media.co/3Y6mbsc
TESLA: via Bring Me The News, VERBATIM: “What started as a lone man's mid-February protest against Elon Musk outside a Golden Valley Tesla dealership has ballooned into a weekly demonstration that, on a blustery Saturday, attracted more than 500 people. Protest songs played from speakers amid chants and cars honking in support of the peaceful, sign-waving protestors. … The protest outside the Golden Valley started with a lone demonstrator braving the frigid cold on February 15, but has grown by the week to the point that hundreds are now protesting Musk's role in the U.S. government every Saturday morning. … Organizers promote the peaceful nature of the protest, telling those involved not to obstruct traffic in and around the showroom.” READ: https://fluence-media.co/4cblnYV

MORE: Gov. Tim Walz responded on social media to Elon Musk’s claim in a recent interview that Walz is a “huge jerk” for celebrating the decline of Tesla’s stock price. WALZ: “Elon, I’ll make you a deal. I’ll stop making fun of your stock when you take your hands off social security. Surely a billionaire who sheds a tear for his own portfolio can understand our concern when he grins and raises a chainsaw to the people’s retirement plan.” TWEETS: https://fluence-media.co/43uhaxf
