While a popular topic for Twitter townhalls, #PaidLeaveMN doesn't hold up for the majority of Minnesotans. 55% of the state opposes a new payroll tax to fund the expansive, state-run paid leave program. In Greater Minnesota, this opposition grows to 65%-29%. #mnleg
One reason #PaidLeaveMN is unpopular across the state? A $900,000,000 annual payroll tax on employers and employees. #mnleg
The burden falls on Minnesota's job creators - many of whom already provide benefits tailored to their employees' needs. #PaidLeaveMN forces every MN business to provide 24 weeks of paid leave - that's 44% of a work year. #mnleg
For a jobs bill, HF 2208 misses the mark on our collective effort to grow the state’s economy. Simply put, it’s too expansive and costly for all Minnesota employers and employees. #mnleg

.@MNRevenue analysis highlights the negative impact to consumers and employees of business tax increases as ultimately “...the burden would be borne in higher prices, some in lower wages, and some in lower returns to business owners.” #mnleg
.@Jill_S_Larson with the Minnesota @BizPartnership on the expansive mandate legislation: “This is a new tax on employers. It’s about a $1 billion-a-year new tax on employers.” #mnleg
Watch the @MN_Chamber's @MCC_LSchothorst testify against legislation to mandate an employer-tax-funded statewide paid-leave program. #mnleg

REMINDER: If HF 5 becomes law, Minnesota will be an outlier with the most expansive, expensive leave mandate in the country. #mnleg

Check out @MCC_DLoon's take on taxes: "It’s time to pass that prosperity on to employers and employees alike. Together, we can grow our economy for the long-term benefit of all MNans." #mnleg nitter.gq/StribOpinion/status/97…
