Wesenberg comments on breakneck-paced session resulting in $352 million mistake

The Walz administration this week announced there was a $352 million mistake in the tax bill that will cost Minnesota taxpayers. Senator Nathan Wesenberg (R-Little Falls) released the following statement in response: 

“Minnesotans have been loud and clear all year–their top priority has been tax relief. Yet somehow, Democrats took the opportunity to instead raise taxes across the board, and this oversight shows that it still wasn’t enough for them. The $352 million mistake is not surprising. Democrats forced through legislation all session long, with many bills being decided by a handful of Democrats behind closed doors. There was no time for the bills to be checked before they were forced onto the floor for a vote. Special interests were repeatedly prioritized over good governance, and it’s going to cost taxpayers even more in the long run. This oversight shows that Democrats have been totally incompetent, and they are failing Minnesota families.”
