As Minnesota 2020 continues to march across the state showing the findings of our latest report, our friends over at the Coalition of Greater Minnesota Cities are rallying for LGA. (Via ThankLGA.org):

Looking for a change of scenery for your lunch break? Then join hundreds of police officers, firefighters, librarians, parks workers, mayors, and LGA supporters from around the state for an LGA rally on the Capitol steps in St. Paul, March 26, from 12:00 – 12:30 p.m. This is your chance to stand up for the city services you depend on and the affordability of your community.

As members of the Legislature consider ways to deal with the state’ s budget deficit, they need to hear from the public about the programs that matter most. We need as large of a crowd as possible to show them that LGA is what keeps Minnesota communities strong. Don’t forget to tell your friends, bring your co-workers, and make a sign to show support for your library, police force, low property taxes, and other LGA-supported programs!

This is a great effort. Rural Minnesota has been taking a disproportionate share of budget cuts for too long. It’s time for some fairness.
