Minnesota’s Projected Surplus Continues to Grow
ST. PAUL (WJON News) -- The latest economic forecast shows Minnesota's projected budget surplus for 2024-25 growing by 1.3 billion dollars to 3.7 billion.
But there's still a long-term "structural imbalance" that could cause problems in 2025-26 -- although officials say it's smaller since the last forecast.
State Management and Budget Commissioner Erin Campbell says because of that, lawmakers should still exercise caution on spending.
