Make Child Care Affordable Now
High costs keep childcare out of reach for too many Minnesota families.
These costs force parents to choose between earning income and caring for their kids, hurting family well-being as well as our economy. Many industries are unable to find employees due to a lack of affordable childcare.
Urge legislators to support a plan to change this.
End Junk Fees
Corporations in Minnesota are employing underhanded tactics to hike prices on families already struggling to meet basic expenses. On average, Minnesota households shell out over $3,000 annually for these "junk fees," which artificially inflate prices without offering any tangible benefits.
These sneaky charges, often disguised as "service" or "convenience" fees, sneak into your checkout cart when booking a rental car, purchasing tickets to a Twins game, upgrading your phone, reserving a hotel room, paying rent, securing a storage unit, and the list goes on.
The legislature should mandate upfront disclosure of all fees in advertised prices. This move would provide consumers with a clear, upfront understanding of a product's total cost and discourage the use of hidden fees to exploit hardworking Minnesota families.
