Minnesota Republicans propose largest tax cut in state history
The plan would provide $1 billion in one-time property tax relief and eliminate taxes on tips and overtime, Republicans said.
- Minnesota House Republicans unveiled the $3.8 billion "North Star Comeback" proposal on Friday, a plan aimed at reducing taxes and reprioritizing state spending.
- Rising costs for groceries, child care, and housing prompted the proposal as Minnesota's budget outlook recently improved with a $3.7 billion projected balance for fiscal years 2026-27.
- Included in the plan is $1 billion in one-time property tax relief, eliminating taxes on tips and overtime. House Speaker Lisa Demuth said, "Families are actually working harder but they're falling further behind."
- Funding would come from redirecting money away from major infrastructure projects like the Blue Line and Northern Lights Express, according to House Republican Floor Leader Harry Niska.
- The Minnesota State House is tied at 67 seats each between parties, while the Minnesota State Senate is held by Democrats with just a one-seat margin, complicating passage.
