The Minnesota Budget Bites blog has been around for three legislative sessions – providing you with interesting information in a timely way. But we aren’t just at work during the session, we’ll be blogging away all summer and fall as important policy decisions are made at the federal level, as new reports shed light on Minnesota’s social and economic health, and as the state starts gearing up for a very tough legislative session in 2011.
And why do we do it? Because we want people to have accurate information about the fiscal challenges facing state and federal policymakers – and because we want people to have a better understanding of how low-income families and other vulnerable populations are faring in our state. Ultimately, we are working towards sound budget decisions that improve the lives of all Minnesotans.
We are able to fund our work at the Minnesota Budget Project thanks to the generous support of foundations and the members of the Minnesota Council of Nonprofits. However, in these tough times, that isn’t always enough – we also need the support of those of you who count on us to deliver timely information and solid analysis all year long.
Your donation will allow us to continue to maintain our high standards. But more than that, your donation will assure us that all those late nights and early mornings are worth it because people are reading and appreciating what we do (you can donate online or send us a check).
So, go ahead, make our day.
