What a profound honor to chair the House tax committee this year.

TBH I was shocked when @melissahortman trusted me to serve our caucus in this way. I hope I made us proud boss lady💜

Beyond the headlines there are SO many great things to be proud of in this bill.

Small 🧵
🚨🚨2023 tax bill highlights🚨🚨

Nation-leading child tax credit that will cut child poverty by 1/3

Tax equity for those who use Individual Tax ID Numbers.

Ongoing aid to Tribal governments

Moving the renters credit onto income tax form (120k more renters will claim it)
Making the tax code fairer by having corporations and the rich pay their fair share

Housing money! $100M- $20/biennium ongoing

Property tax refunds, 1 time & ongoing, for homeowners and renters

Ongoing support for local governments- $80M/year each to counties and cities
A down payment on a free public tax filing system

Ending the practice of the dept of revenue taking people’s tax returns for private hospital debt

A down payment on the community vision for Roof Depot✊💜

Support for Lake Street businesses

Those are just my faves. #mnleg
So many members shaped this bill- my tax partner Dave Lislegard and our tax conferees most of all- @go4esther, @LizLeeMN, @MNfromMN. And our entire committee. It has been such a joy to work by their side.
Something like this only happens with the support of a brilliant team. We have the most talented partisan & nonpartisan staff I’ve ever encountered. True public servants who care for & serve the people.

(And there’s a list like this for EVERY ONE of these budget bills. #LFG)

The shelters are full. It’s cold. There is nowhere for people to go.

We should not be using public resources to displace unsheltered people during a pandemic winter if we have no alternatives lined up. Period.

This is a choice made by people in power. It’s wrong and inhumane.
When I spoke with the County to ask them not to move forward with these evictions they told me that there was space on emergency shelter and that people were refusing the help.

Last night I was on an EMS ride along w/ Hennepin Health. We responded to a call at Harbor Lights.
There were a number of people outside seeking shelter but it was full. I called adult shelter connect and there were no spaces available anywhere. I asked them what the people should do and the person said they would have to stay outside or on light rail until more shelter opens.
