"Our mission is to make Minnesota the best state to raise a family for everyone. This budget was built with the belief that we cannot build One Minnesota without ensuring Black Minnesotans are heard, supported, valued," said Governor Walz. "By investing in comprehensive health care, expanding access to child care, strengthening public safety, taking bold action to reduce child poverty, and investing directly in Black entrepreneurs and Black businesses -- we have a historic opportunity to improve the lives of Minnesotans through the One Minnesota budget. I'm grateful for the Black community leaders whose vision for a stronger, more equitable Minnesota informed this budget."
