Minnesota will get more money than previously expected from a federal COVID-19 rescue package, and that $2.83 billion is certain to factor heavily into a state budget deal.
Prior estimates were that Minnesotaâs state government would receive about $2.6 billion. On Monday, the U.S. Treasury Department formally issued allocation information and guidance on how it could be spent.
The money is on top of what will flow directly to counties, big cities and other government entities around Minnesota. School districts and other federally supported programs are in line for their own buckets of aid.
Senior Biden administration officials told reporters on a conference call Monday that the payments will start arriving in state treasuries âin a matter of days.â Half will come in this year and half a year from now.

Rep. Pat Garafolo (R-Farmington)
ST. PAUL, Minn. – An influential Republican says an amendment he put on a Minnesota House bill to legalize recreational marijuana increases the possibility of it being signed into law this year.
The measure passed the House Taxes Committee Wednesday. The amendment requires all extra tax revenue from legalized cannabis sales go into a tax relief account. G-O-P Representative Pat Garofalo of Farmington said, “it’s a really strong movement in a direction that I think conservatives like that we’re not really interested in seeing marijuana legalized for the purposes of growing government and spending more money.”
