Going back on promises

Letter to the Editor

To the editor: A few months ago, Minnesota voters determined that the DFL deserved to lead in St. Paul, giving them the House, the Senate, and the Governor’s seat. They attempted to appeal to independents by promising tax relief, fiscally responsible policies, and looking out for their fellow Minnesotans.

That’s how DFLer Judy eeberger won the enate District 41 seat by just 300 votes. These campaign promises helped politicians like her get elected. adly, the DFL appears to be already abandoning these promises.

In an interview with TPT, DFL Governor Walz, seemed hesitant to eliminate the social security tax on seniors – de spite the state bringing in a $17.6 billion tax surplus. Minn- post reported that House peaker Hortman and enate Major – ity Leader Dziedzic also backtracked on this same promise.

It is disappointing to see that Democrats have gone back on their promises the moment they have power. In 2024 and 2026, voters need to remember that they were lied to by the DFL.
