46 RINOs and 67 Democrats in the state House passed the State Government Finance omnibus bill (SF3045). Crooked, uniparty politicians craft these big government bills to hide their corruption. This is a massive, multi-subject, unconstitutional bill that gives funds almost all government operations. Among other garbage proposals, this budget bill increases to ANTIFA Keith Ellison’s budget and gives over $1.2M to the “Council on LGBTQIA2S+ Minnesotans”.
The final vote was 113-21. The debate for this bill and others in the session can be viewed here. See vote below:
Action 4 Liberty reported on the bill previously to highlight the budget increase of Ellison who has weaponized the office and abused tax dollars to sue President Trump on men in women’s sports, fighting Elon Musk’s free speech lawsuit, and birthright citizenship for anchor babies. Since we’ve last reported on this bill, the final version gives Ellison EVEN MORE money totaling over $96M!
The last state govt. budget bill (HF1830) gave the AG office $43,825,000 for 2025 and this budget gives $48,854,000 for 2026 and $48,237,000 for 2027!
An amendment was pushed by Rep. Ben Davis (6A) to reduce the AG office budget down to $46,266,000 for 2026 and $46,075,000 for 2027 and gave $391K to Ellison for Medicaid fraud. This amendment failed 67-67 on party lines. This amendment was not a serious cut to ANTIFA Keith, it still increases Ellison’s budget from the funding he got for 2025! In other words, this was not a cut to Ellison’s previous budget, it grew his budget from this year! It is even worse that this amendment would have given Ellison additional tax money for things he may or may not do. If someone is a known bad actor, do not enable them with more money! Davis made things worse for himself by saying in debate “Don’t buy this narrative that I’m trying to cut the Attorney General’s budget” (see video here). Ultimately, Davis did not vote for the bill which should be commended. See the Amendment below:
This bill also funds numerous ultra woke, leftist causes including the “Council on LGBTQIA2S+ Minnesotans” which will get over $1.2M over the next two years. Members of the council include DWI they/them Brion Curran (36B), Sen. Lindsey Port (SD55), and clowns like this:
See funding below:
RINO Jim Nash (48A) led this bill through the House as the lone GOP co-author alongside radical left Democrats Ginny Klevorn (42B) and Tou Xiong (SD44). Phony Jim Nash led Republicans in this critical fiscal battle to failure, his input and negotiation skills are pathetic. A real conservative would demand massive cuts across the board or all GOP support would be withheld. The House GOP budget eats into surplus dollars and screws over the taxpayers.
This bill already passed the Senate by a vote of 35-29. See vote below:
Due to an amendment passed in the House, this bill will have to return to the Senate. This amendment allows individuals in the U.S. Military to let another Representative vote on their behalf when deployed.
This was passed along party lines with only GOP support. It passed in an interesting fashion as presiding officer Bjorn Olson (22A) first took a voice vote (as no roll call vote was requested), then Democrats called division (requiring another vote taken differently) and Olson took a standing vote that did not include Reps not at the capitol and voting remotely (as was done in the previous voice vote and determinative to). This procedural tactic could have been used throughout the day since the GOP had more members present. However, since the bill has to return to the Democrat controlled Senate, the bill could go through more changes. Democrat Ginny Kleovorn (42B) even said in the debate that a legislator “can’t serve two masters” implying that government is her master. Tell us something we don't know about Democrats...
The unconstitutional omnibus bills that the vast majority of Republican Reps carelessly pass right along shows that our government is controlled by a uniparty. The RINOs and Democrats fight around the edges then support the same exact growth of government. Corrupt Republicans pretend to be conservative but at the end of the day, they vote just like Democrats.
The out of control Walz administration will soon be “fully funded”, which really means over-funded and ripe for fraud and abuse. The swamp hates Action 4 Liberty because we represent the true conservative position and refuse to concede. Any proposition for DOGE in Minnesota has been squashed. Grassroots Patriots are fed up with big government Republicans and A4L will continue to shine a light on the corruption controlling our state.

Paul Bade commented 2025-05-03 15:35:40 -0500One of the problems we have in enforcing constitutional constraints on the government is that the courts get extremely picky about “standing” in such cases, even though every citizen is harmed when the rules are violated. A4L should campaign for a law stipulating that every citizen eligible to vote has standing to seek an injunction against general transgressions of constitutional requirements, such as the multiple-subject bills or the reinterpretation of the ban on felons voting.
