Welcome

The cost of living for everyone is impacted by fuel costs. Gas taxes are embedded all throughout the supply chain, daily commuting and our retail and food deliveries. MN taxes are an average of 10% of the fuel costs. Legislation like this would enact a moratorium annually from Memorial Day to Labor Day when we need it most.  See bill here  HF 3263

For many Minnesotans, an accessible, effective, safe and efficient public transit system is not feasible for their everyday lives. The taxes imposed on registering a vehicle for the first time and renewing tabs are exorbitant. Legislation like this would reduce the registration tax from 1.285% to 0.965%. On an average $25,000 car, that could be $100/yr in savings.  See bill here  HF 3111

As Minnesota commits to clean energy and decarbonization, a misstep has been to cut off reliable , sustainable, green nuclear energy from our energy portfolio as we go headlong into solar and wind. Our state's energy portfolio has seen a deliberate decrease in coal, gas and nuclear energy generation which is impacting energy availability, sustainability and affordability during peak times when we need it most. States that have previously banned nuclear and started to decommission plants, have recently reversed course as power needs in the digital and electrified era surges in demand.  Legislation like this allows us to remain open to using nuclear options as a stable segment of our energy production.  See bill here HF 4430  

Taxes should not be imposed by an unelected body that is not held accountable to us, the citizens. Regional sales taxes, retail delivery fees, use taxes etc., imposed by the Met Council, should be repealed. This is not the intended function of this body. Legislation like this would repeal some of these taxing activities and would clarify where the money they do collect is to be applied. See bill here HF 5070 

Inflation has made it extremely difficult for working parents to make the decision to place a child in the care of others or to leave the workforce and stay home. Often, this is a purely economic decision. Legislation like this expands the tax credit eligibility. Under current law, if assistance is received to offset some of these expenses, that may be considered taxable income or benefit. These bills are meant to help ease the impact.  See bills here HF 4349 and HF 4776

With the surge in online gaming and social media use amongst our youth, mental health crises have also exploded. Schools have become overburdened with needs for physical resources that may not be readily available or affordable in all districts.  Legislation like this would allow for telehealth services to be made available as part of their resource toolbox to meet the needs of students. This allows for more flexibility and privacy. See bill here HF 4264
