Legislative Session Off to Difficult Start
Already proposals are moving onto the House and Senate floors to cut needed help for struggling families via cuts to Renter's Credit, Emergency Assistance, and the Child and Community Services Fund. Proposals to eliminate the political contribution refund program and repeal handgun background checks would undo laws that JRLC was instrumental in passing years ago. Proposals for state-authorized gambling and a Vikings stadium are taking shape...and just to bring this all into high-definition, corporate tax cuts for businesses are on the table, even though we have a $6.2 billion revenue shortfall. Obviously we need the public to weigh in! Get your delegation geared up for Day on the Hill!
Social Justice Awards
Please nominate yourself or someone you know for our annual awards to be given out at the Capitol Rotunda during Day on the Hill, Feb. 17th. The nomination form is simple and can be submitted online. Individuals, congregations/organizations, and Key Advocates are the three award categories.
