Gov. Mark Dayton has put up a budget proposal website that includes links to all aspects of his plan to increase state revenue by raising income tax rates for top earners and broadening the state sales tax, while lowering the overall rate.
It includes links to breakdowns of the plan for education, jobs, reform, transformation and taxes.
There's also a section on regional impacts of the budget proposal. For example, Duluth:
