The 1995 Session <br />ended with a balanced budget, but there is apprehension that the Federal Government <br />$15 billion reduction in its current budget would have great impact on Minnesota. <br />The Federal Government has also proposed a $300-500 million reduction in social <br />services to Minnesota, and these cuts will be past down to counties.
