Email: Want to Create Jobs? Let’s Build

Want to Create Jobs? Let’s BuildWith an unemployment rate now mirroring the national average, Minnesota's economy is in trouble. The state should be working to kick start job creation. There's just one barrier; Minnesota has a $6.4 billion budget deficit. Unlike the federal government, we can't run a deficit. It will take a combination of budget cuts and new revenue in the form of progressive tax increases on the state's highest earners to solve this financial mess.

However, there is an immediate solution to create jobs.  State policymakers can borrow money to build state infrastructure projects.  A capital investment package will put thousands of Minnesotans to work immediately and make much needed infrastructure investments in areas like our state colleges and universities.

While we should be having a long-term policy debate about how to grow Minnesota's economy and create jobs, a capital investment package creates jobs immediately statewide.  Creating immediate new jobs is an area where the Governor and legislators should all agree.
