Select Subcommittee on Federal Impacts on Minnesotans and Economic Stability
The Select Subcommittee on Federal Impacts on Minnesotans and Economic Stability was formed to help the state prepare for and react to actions by the Trump administration and Congress. Cuts to Medicaid and food security will push costs onto the state, local governments and families. Executive orders are a threat to infrastructure, industry and civil liberties. The committee is a resource to learn what’s coming from Washington, what it means for Minnesotans, and what the state can be doing in response.
