Selcer has helped create jobs
Posted by SD48 DFL Communications Team in Joan Howe-Pullis, Letters to the Editor, News, Our Candidates & Elected Officials
I have worked in business for over 30 years and I know how important it is for us to have a strong voice at the capitol. Rep. Yvonne Selcer has done a good job at balancing all of our needs, and has contributed to helping more new jobs being created here in Minnesota, and in our area. At 3.8 percent unemployment, our metro area has one of the strongest economies in the nation.
The state’s budget has been balanced, and our budget reserves have been replenished. Selcer’s legislation to repeal the business to business tax is an important par of our economic rebound. Her opponent, Kirk Stensrud, who she defeated during the last election and is running again, voted for a budget plan that relied on shifts and one-time funding. Those accounting gimmicks lost Minnesota its AAA credit rating and left us with a $3.5 billion deficit. From deficit to surplus, from a negative credit rating to stable. Yvonne Selcer has earned a second term — I know I will be voting for her.
