The Minnesota legislative session will begin in less than two weeks. While there is a budget surplus, Minnesota House Ag Finance and Policy Committee Lead Republican Paul Anderson does not think lawmakers should spend it all. “This is one-time money and when you factor in inflation, the surplus isn’t that big. We have to be careful,” says Anderson. “I’m going to look for targeted tax relief and there will be a limited budget bill going forward. When it comes to tax relief, farmland values are going up and this will impact our property tax situation.” Anderson believes the ag committee will support funds for E-15.
