[ST. PAUL, MN] – Governor Tim Walz today released the following statement celebrating the news that Minnesota Management and Budget’s February Economic Forecast showed that Minnesota’s surplus remains stable and the economy continues to grow.

“This is great news for Minnesota and a sign that our economy is strong and growing,” said Governor Walz. “Minnesota continues to have a record-low unemployment rate, one of the most diverse economies in the nation, and is on a path to be the best state in the country to raise a family. Our One Minnesota Budget and today’s forecast outline the historic opportunities we have to invest in education, children, health and safety while lowering costs, cutting taxes, and sending checks to Minnesotans across the state. I look forward to continuing this growth and ensuring every Minnesotan benefits from our thriving economy.”
