Tom Emmer wants to eliminate Local Government Aid
Tom Emmer is the author of the Minnesota Fair Plan, a bill that would institute a new program to replace (not eliminate) the current system of local government aid (LGA). The Bill was HF 339 of the 86th Legislative Session of the Minnesota Legislature.
Tom Emmer said he will cut $20 billion from the state budget.
Tom Emmer has never said he will cut $20 billion from the state budget. In fact, he said we “can reduce government easily by 20% in the next four years – easily.” In a classic case of cherry picking part of a quote out of context, Tom’s opponents and the media have started to repeat this claim as a talking point.
