In May 2023, #Walz signed a #law creating astate-run program to provide paid #family & #medical leave for #Minnesota #workers, funded by a 0.7% payroll #tax on #employers, by 2026.
While proponents say the #law is an "equalizer" that provides a road map for a similar federal effort, critics claim it would cost much more than estimated & devastate small businesses.
