Below is a link to Governor Dayton’s veto of the Health and Human Services bill. The nearly 20% cut to the Family Planning Special Projects grant shows how shortsighted the bill is. Family Planning Special Projects reached out to 30,000 people with family planning services and information and in the process significantly reduced teen and unwanted pregnancies. The resulting savings in social services far exceeded any cuts the GOP is making.
