ST. PAUL (December 1, 2011) – Responding to today’s state budget forecast, the Minnesota Nurses Association issued the following statement:
“Plenty of GOP leaders are putting a positive spin on today’s news of a budget surplus. However, we’d like to point out a few of the items you aren’t likely to hear them talking about:
- You won’t hear GOP leadership talking about the billion-dollar cost of using tobacco bonds to balance the budget, which they insisted upon.
- You won’t hear GOP leadership talking about the huge increases in property taxes we’re seeing across the state of Minnesota.
