Current Agenda

Minnesota’s strength lies in our families, our friends, and our neighbors being able to fully thrive and contribute to their communities. The Minnesota Budget Project focuses our advocacy agenda at the Capitol on policies that will allow all of us to prosper, no matter who we are or where we live.

Minnesota Budget

The Minnesota Budget Project’s expertise in Minnesota’s state budget, trends, and processes allows us to advance policies that expand opportunity to all Minnesotans. We provide analysis on budget plans, the state's fiscal forecasts, budget trends and reforms, and tax and spending limits.

Minnesota Taxes

Our work on Minnesota tax policy is focused on fairness and everyday Minnesotans, including analysis of tax proposals, tax policy changes, tax credits, and tax fairness in Minnesota.

Health Care

We start our work from a belief that affordable health care is important for all Minnesotans and it shouldn't depend on someone's paycheck or address.

Income & Work

We research economic trends to understand who’s faring well in today’s economy and who is left behind. We analyze policies that allow more Minnesotans to support themselves and their families, particularly wage and job quality standards.
