Taxes Conference Committee to hold public hearing this afternoon

SAINT PAUL, MINNESOTA — Co-Chair Paul Marquart (DFL- Dilworth) will hold a joint House/Senate Taxes Conference Committee meeting this afternoon at 1 p.m.

WHAT: Meeting of the House/Senate Conference Committee on the state tax bill, HF 2125
WHO: Co-Chair Paul Marquart, committee members
WHERE: Room G-15, Minnesota Capitol
WHEN: 1:00 p.m., Wednesday, May 15

While income inequality continues to grow in Minnesota, the DFL tax bill closes corporate tax loopholes in order to invest in education and target tax cuts toward working families, seniors, farmers and small businesses. The proposal would lower property taxes and increase local government aid.

The Senate GOP plan favors corporations and the wealthy while underfunding schools and contributing to race, geography, and income-based opportunity gaps.

Live audio of the hearing will be available here.
