The Minnesota Center for Fiscal Excellence was founded in 1926 to promote sound tax policy, efficient spending, and accountable government. We pursue this mission by: educating and informing Minnesotans about sound fiscal policy; providing state and local policy makers with objective, non-partisan research about the impacts of tax and spending policies; and, advocating for the adoption of policies reflecting principles of fiscal excellence. MCFE generally defers from taking positions on levels of government taxation and spending believing that citizens, through their elected officials, are responsible for determining the level of government they are willing to support with their tax dollars. Instead, MCFE seeks to ensure that revenues raised to support government adhere to good tax policy principles and that the spending supported by these revenues accomplishes its purpose in an efficient, transparent, and accountable manner.
