The Minnesota Prosperity (Dream) Act will become law!
On Friday, the Minnesota Legislature passed the omnibus Higher Education Finance bill containing the Minnesota Prosperity (Dream) Act! Gov. Mark Dayton is expected to sign it soon. We want to thank everyone who made calls, sent emails, spent time at the Capitol and otherwise contributed to this huge victory for Minnesota!
Taxpayers asked to subsidize Mall of America expansion
Our own Bob DeBoer explains why the Minnesota Legislature's potential misuse of Fiscal Disparities, the state's property tax revenue sharing pool, to benefit a proposed Mall of America expansion, would set a dangerous precedent and be bad for the Twin Cities.
Help ensure our success at the Legislature
The 2013 Minnesota Legislature has provided several opportunities to advance the Citizens League's legislative priorities, based on our civic policy making principles. Many of them are moving forward to the next phase of consideration.
These opportunities also present a significant need. With a small policy staff, we are stretched to the limits of our capacity, and we're turning to our members and supporters for help. Please donate today. Your support will enable us to be present and proactive at the Capitol, so we can implement the legislative priorities you've helped us develop.
