Budget Tools
Minnesota legislators and legislative staff have a number of tools to help them gauge the financial health of the state. Minnesota Management & Budget (MMB) is directed by state law to provide several regular reports about Minnesota's financial health. Economic forecasts are required twice each year. The reports, commonly known as the "November forecast" and "February forecast", are key determinants in the legislative budget process. There are other reports too--due at various points in the fiscal year. Two of them arrived in the Library recently:
The Budget Reserve Report focuses on the health of Minnesota's "rainy day fund." The fund provides lawmakers with some financial flexibility in dealing with economic volatility. MMB is required to evaluate the adequacy of the reserve and determine a percentage of the current biennium's general fund non-dedicated revenues recommended as a reserve.
The Minnesota Price of Government Report measures how much Minnesotans pay to state and local governments as a percent of Minnesotans' personal income. The "price of government" includes the revenue generated by public school districts and all state and local governments. It "serves as a financial index for the cost of public services in Minnesota."
Another recently-released report is the 2015 edition of the popular Fiscal Review, produced by Minnesota Senate fiscal analysts. It's the latest in a series, published since 1975. House fiscal analysts publish a similar guide. A Summary of the Fiscal Actions of the 2015 Legislature was released this past summer; it has been published annually since 1995.
Contact a librarian at 651-296-8338, or refdesk@lrl.leg.mn, for copies of any of these reports.
