St Paul, MN – Protesters gathered on the front steps of the Minnesota State Capitol, April 15 with a message for state legislators and Governor Dayton: “Tax the rich. No more attacks on poor and working people.” High winds whipped a giant banner spread out across the capitol steps.
Since the legislative session began, Republicans have launched cuts and attacks too numerous to list in full. These include drastic cuts to people in poverty and struggling with disabilities. They slash away at state workers, child protective services, local cities and towns, education and union rights.
