Welcome to the "New Normal" in Minnesota
Minnesota is changing dramatically, thanks to a huge demographic shift. The state's 1.3 million babyboomers started to retire in January of 2008, a trend that will continue for the next couple of decades. In short, this aging group will demand more expenses (medical assistance, long term care), while bringing in a lot less tax revenue. Explore this website's videos and links to learn more about what this means for state and local government. Find out what Minnesotans are doing to "redesign" our state... and join the conversation!
