Minnesota GOP legislators propose tax plan that includes rebate checks they once criticized

Republicans say the state's record surplus also should be used on tax cuts

Republican legislators last year blasted DFL Gov. Tim Walz's proposal to send rebate checks to Minnesotans, often labeling it an election-year gimmick.

Now in the minority, GOP members of the House and Senate have reversed course and said that's exactly how the Legislature should spend some of the state's massive $17.5 billion surplus.

The legislators held a news conference Tuesday to propose their "Give it Back" tax relief plan, which includes sending rebate checks of $1,250 to individuals and $2,500 to joint filers. The rebate proposal would cost $5 billion and have no income limits, meaning all Minnesotans would receive one.
