Governor Walz Disbursing Some of Minnesota Surplus in Tax Rebate ChecksWhat does Republican Governor Kristi Noem do when South Dakota runs a budget surplus? What does Democratic Governor Tim Walz do when Minnesota runs a budget surplus? Sends some of it straight back to taxpayers who can use it most:Distribution of special tax rebates is targeted for September for more than 2.5 million Minnesotans who qualify. “That’s going to help pay for groceries, going to help pay for school supplies, help pay for rent, child care,” he said. Minnesota Republicans are complaining the rebate plan isn’t big enough (also heard from Republicans: that’s what she said), and even Governor Walz wanted to write bigger checks to send back even more of the surplus, but compared to South Dakota’s surplus rebate plan, those Minnesota rebate checks, like Minnesota’s surplus itself, are positively robust.
