GOP Lawmakers Offer No Help for Middle Class Families

On Wednesday afternoon, the leaders of Minnesota’s incoming GOP legislative majorities gathered reporters to talk about their legislative agenda. Minnesota AFL-CIO President Shar Knutson issued the following statement:

“Middle class Minnesotans want their legislature to help create family sustaining jobs sooner rather than later and solve the state’s multi-billion dollar revenue shortfall fairly.

The Legislature’s number one priority must be to put Minnesotans back to work as soon as possible.

We hope lawmakers will work with Governor-elect Dayton to pass a policy agenda that puts middle class families first.”
