The rest of the story....
Last week, I described the amazing slate of reforms and new laws passed by the Minnesota legislature in the field of public safety-- but that was just a fraction of all that they got done. Here is some of the rest of what was passed:
-- A steep cut in the tax on social security payments
-- Rebate checks from the surplus
-- Created a state system for paid family leave from work
-- Legalized recreational marijuana
--Allowed for driver's licenses for undocumented people
-- Created legal protections for those coming from other states to seek abortions or transgender health care
-- Broadened environmental protections and provided money for state parks, trails & fisheries
-- Provided money to bail out nursing homes
-- College will be free for students whose families earn less that $80k per year
-- Support for education across the board
-- A big infrastructure commitment
-- And much more!
