Gov. Tim Walz, speaking to reporters, mentions four priorities for the surplus:
-Expanding child care
-Relief to Minnesotans for inflation, in the form of rebates
-Road and bridge funding
-Public school funding
"We can do all of these things," he says. "It isn't either-or."

Incoming House Majority Leader @Jamiemlong and Senate Majority Leader @KariDziedzic aren't yet endorsing Walz's rebate checks.
They say they'll let their caucuses decide. Lots of new members in the House and Senate. #mnleg
