This is Minnesota's moment. This is our chance to build a better Minnesota by making the investments that grow the economy and the middle class. Now is the time to stabilize state agency budgets.

Minnesotans finally have a governor who is willing to take the bold steps needed to invest in education, strengthen the middle class and achieve tax fairness. But he can't do it by himself.

Please join us at MAPE Day on the Hill as we tell legislators to support Governor Dayton's pragmatic plan to strengthen our long-term budget outlook. Go to action.teammape.org/DOTH to sign up for MAPE's March 14th Day on the Hill.
