Kendall Qualls: More government, more picking winners and losers? Not the way to a better Minnesota

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:17:38 GMT

A lot has changed since my childhood. The freedoms I enjoy today were once a dream for which my parents and grandparents longed. Yet the values that made our families strong and state government even stronger have been sidelined for “my way or the highway” mentalities that hurt the people they’re meant to protect. As lawmakers debate tax-and-spend legislation worth billions, they need to remember this: For a better Minnesota, we need to go back to our fundamental values.Democrats are currently sitting on an $18 billion surplus – also known as our hard-earned tax dollars. At a time when eggs cost more than a gallon of gas, families are struggling to pay their bills and put food on the table, you’d assume Democrats would offer relief for Minnesota families.

If you’re waiting for a punchline, there isn’t one.It’s hard to fathom how much bigger the government can get, but Democr...
