Minnesota Legislature enters final day after taxing weekend
| | Minnesota Legislature enters final day after taxing weekend |
Minnesota lawmakers have one more day to finish their work on a $72 billion two-year budget after passing a transportation bill and a tax bill over the weekend without a single Republican vote.
On Sunday, the Legislature took final votes on a bill authorizing tax rebates as well as on a transportation plan that brings a higher gas tax, a boosted metro sales tax and a new delivery fee to pay for projects.
The transportation finance package will put $3.7 billion in new money into the system over the next four years.
