In a recent special session, the Minnesota Legislature approved a $66 billion budget, leading to significant repercussions for many residents. The budget, which faced criticism for its lack of transparency and for imposing $4.2 billion in tax and fee increases, includes a controversial decision to revoke state-funded health care for undocumented immigrants. With bipartisan support, lawmakers voted to eliminate MinnesotaCare for adult undocumented residents, a move that has sparked backlash from various community representatives and health care providers. Despite these contentious issues, the legislature successfully secured funding for K-12 education, marking a rare point of agreement in a divided political landscape. The session, held under tight deadlines, has left many stakeholders concerned about the implications of these budget cuts on local communities and vulnerable populations.
