Minnesota Budget Project Calls for Federal Fiscal Relief to States

Facing a flagging economy, Congress may consider additional economic stimulus measures in the coming months. In a new issue brief, we outline how federal fiscal relief to states can both relieve the budget pressure on Minnesota to cut critical services to the state's most vulnerable citizens, and aid our ailing state economy.

Your organization can also join the Minnesota Budget Project in an organizational sign-on letter to the Minnesota Congressional delegation, urging them to include federal fiscal relief in any economic stimulus bill they consider.

Read our issue brief.
Join our organizational sign-on letter. The deadline for signing on is September 12.

Press Release: Economic Recovery was a Bust, New U.S. Census Data Finds

The U.S. Census Bureau recently released new data on income, poverty and health insurance coverage in the U.S. and Minnesota. The data shows that during the last economic expansion (which lasted from 2001 to 2007), Minnesota actually experienced an increase in poverty and the uninsured, as well as a decline in the median income. For more information, read our press release and our blog post.
