(St. Paul, MN) — Minnesota leaders are aiming at a deal on unemployment insurance and frontline worker pay. Leaders announced a multibillion-dollar agreement yesterday meant to hold off tax hikes on state businesses while also sending direct checks to frontline workers. The tentative deal includes 500-million dollars for workers such as nurses, longterm care employees and others who worked through the pandemic. Funding for the bill would come from federal American Rescue Plan.
