The 5% Campaign - One Step Closer

The 5% Campaign committee is pleased to share the Minnesota Senate voted to include a full 5% increase in their supplemental budget bill.

The 5% Campaign committee is pleased to share the Minnesota Senate voted to include a full 5% increase in their supplemental budget bill! Now that the House and Senate have approved budget bills with the full 5%, the next step is for leaders from the two bodies to meet in conference committee and come together on a final budget deal for the legislative session.

Next up, the bill will then go to Governor Dayton for his signature. While we are not sure on the exact timing, we are anticipating this will happen within the next couple of weeks.

Thank you for your calls, emails, site and office visits which brought us to where we are today!  The Phoenix Residence sincerely appreciates the support we have received from advocates, supporters, family members, and employees since we began this campaign last summer.  Your participation has been critical in moving us closer to our goal of a full 5%.

Please take a quick minute to thank legislators.

Now it is important to thank all the legislators who supported the 5% increase along the way. Send them a short email, a handwritten note or letter, a message on Twitter or Facebook, or just give their office a quick call. 

Thank you for your ongoing support! We will continue to keep you posted as we move ahead.
