Minnesota State Senator Rich Draheim (R-Madison Lake) returned to the capitol on Monday, February 12 for the beginning of the 2024 session of the Minnesota Legislature. The agenda and debate this session will be shaped in large part by the forthcoming February revenue forecast, scheduled to be released later this month, which will detail the state’s financial picture. A report issued by the office of Minnesota Management and Budget last December projected a small budget surplus for the upcoming session and a $2.5 billion deficit in the following budget cycle.
“I enjoyed the time back at home with my family and friends but it’s great to be back in St. Paul doing the work that people sent me here to do,” Senator Draheim said. “Listening to feedback from the people I represent is critical for me to be your voice in the Senate, so please keep an eye on what your elected officials are working on and share your feedback as often as you can. It is a privilege to serve you.”
