After years of partisan gridlock in the Minnesota Legislature,

this year was different. Jay McNamar and the House DFL
spent their time focusing on middle class priorities like
education, job creation and property tax relief.
And after all the progress they made, its easy to see why so
many people are summing up the legislative session this way:
Promises made, promises kept.
After years of disinvestment in education,
Jay McNamar and the House DFL
made major progress on education initia-
tives, from kindergarten through college.
An historic $735 million invest-
ment in Minnesotas students,
including:
Invested $40 m||||on |n ear|y
|earn|ng scho|arsh|ps to c|ose
the ach|evement gap.
Funded a||-day, every day k|n-
dergarten for every M|nnesota
ch||d.
Acce|erated payback of the
$854 m||||on the prev|ous |eg-
|s|ature had taken from educa-
t|on.
Made h|gher educat|on more
affordab|e by freez|ng tu|t|on

state co||eges and un|vers|t|es.
Reversing years of inattention to our
economy, Jay McNamar and the House
DFL supported proven job creation
strategies.
Invested $30 m||||on |n the
M|nnesota Investment Fund to
he|p sma|| bus|nesses grow and
expand.
Invested $1.5 m||||on |n the new

our sma|| bus|nesses compete
g|oba||y.
Passed one of the b|ggest sma||
bus|ness tax cuts |n state h|s-
tory $346 m||||on so |oca|
emp|oyers can use that money
to put peop|e back to work.
Rejecting the Republican-led Legisla-
tures record of squeezing the middle class
to protect the wealthiest Minnesotans,
Jay McNamar and the House DFL
delivered on their promise to restore
property tax relief.
Prov|ded $400 m||||on |n prop-
erty tax re||ef for m|dd|e c|ass
M|nnesotans.
