At the Capitol, Minnesota Management and Budget’s November forecast shows a projected surplus of about 2.47 billion dollars for the current 2026–27 budget period, but a nearly 3 billion dollar deficit projected for the following biennium, driven largely by rising Medical Assistance health care costs and slower economic growth, according to Minnesota House Session Daily and analysis by Eden Prairie Local News. Minnesota’s state economist Anthony Becker and budget director Ahna Minge told lawmakers that higher enrollment and more expensive long‑term care and prescription drugs are putting pressure on the budget, even as income tax collections remain strong.
Legislators are now framing the 2026 session, which begins in February, as a time to align spending with anticipated revenues while preserving recent investments in areas like universal school meals and expanded unemployment insurance, Session Daily and Eden Prairie Local News report. House DFL leaders emphasize protecting health care and education, while Senate Republicans highlight concerns about future deficits and overall spending, according to Minnesota Senate Republican caucus statements.
In the business and economic arena, Finance & Commerce reports that LouMin Holdings has made its first Minnesota acquisition by purchasing The DECO Apartments in downtown Shakopee, signaling growing investor confidence in mixed‑use suburban markets with strong walkability. The Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development notes that recent state business expansion and training awards are expected to create or retain hundreds of jobs, underscoring a still‑resilient labor market despite national uncertainty.
Across greater Minnesota, community and infrastructure investments continue. The Iron Range Resources and Rehabilitation Department is advancing grants for broadband expansion in rural St. Louis and Itasca counties that will exceed the state’s 2026 speed goals, as well as funding community center improvements in cities like Eveleth, according to agency board materials. The Minnesota Department of Transportation lists dozens of ongoing or planned highway construction and safety projects updated in early December, reflecting sustained investment in roads and bridges even as costs rise.
On the education front, the Marshall Independent reports that Marshall Public Schools reviewed their 2025 audit and flagged declining enrollment and a major high school HVAC upgrade as key fiscal issues, illustrating how demographic shifts are affecting school finances in regional districts.
Public safety also remains in focus. CBS Minnesota reports that Brooklyn Center police are investigating a weekend shooting on Shingle Creek Boulevard, part of a continuing effort by local departments to address gun violence and community safety.
Looking ahead, listeners can expect intense debate over how to close the projected out‑year deficit, decisions on a 2026 bonding bill, continued expansion of rural broadband, and the impact of new private investments in housing and industry across the state.
