Senate Majority Leader Jeremy Miller released the following statement following the announcement of $487 payments to 1.02 million Minnesotans who were approved as frontline workers during the COVID pandemic:

“I applaud our frontline workers who took great risks during the pandemic. They deserve our appreciation and respect for everything they have done and continue to do to keep us safe. While 1 million Minnesotans are getting a small thank you for their work during the pandemic right now, Senate Republicans will continue to fight for permanent tax cuts so every working Minnesotan will see a ‘bonus payment’ in every paycheck – week after week, month after month, year after year.”
