This report demonstrates: Inadequate support for basic public needs is resulting in barriers to living, working, and raising a family in Minnesota. Despite common misconceptions, Minnesota is not an especially high spending state. The direct provision of public services is the best way to reduce costs for Minnesotans and lower barriers to living, working, and raising a family in MInnesota. Arguments that Minnesota's taxes and government spending are hurting economic growth or causing residents to leave are flawed and unsupported. The report concludes that policymakers should use all available resources to directly improve quality of life for Minnesotans.
