The Fight Against Costly Overreach: Business Leaders Unite to Stop Harmful Fuel Mandates in Minnesota


Listen Later

In this episode of American Potential, host Jeff Crank sits down with Bentley Graves of the Minnesota Chamber of Commerce and John Reynolds of the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) to discuss the battle against Minnesota's proposed Clean Transportation Standard. This controversial legislation aimed to impose stringent fuel standards, risking skyrocketing costs for consumers and businesses alike.

Bentley and John share insights on how the bill would have raised fuel prices by up to $1.50 per gallon, making Minnesota one of the most expensive states for energy. They discuss the coalition that formed to oppose this legislation—uniting businesses, labor groups, and even environmental advocates who felt the proposal missed the mark. Together, they explore the broader implications for inflation, job growth, and the standard of living for everyday Minnesotans.

Tune in to hear how grassroots efforts stopped this costly mandate and what it means for other states facing similar proposals. This episode highlights the power of united opposition against government overreach and the importance of preserving economic freedom.
