The 2022 legislative session has ended, and though Minnesotans’ top priorities this year were inflation and public safety neither of those topics were officially addressed prior to adjournment, according to Representative Tony Jurgens. He commented that one area where compromise was reached was on a comprehensive taxes proposal. He said he was extremely pleased to see that his legislation that would eliminate the state tax on Social Security benefits for all Minnesota senior citizens was in the final plan.
According to a release issued by Jurgens, there?s nothing wrong with entering the 2023 legislative session with a significant financial cushion if the economy doesn’t falter, but for now session has ended and much of the budget surplus remains unspent.
