President Donald Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill is projected to increase home energy bills in Minnesota by $2.7 billion and eliminate 23,000 clean energy jobs out of the state's 62,000, while also slowing construction projects due to the state's prior clean energy transition. The bill's federal cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) are expected to lead to an average 3.25% increase in property taxes in Minnesota counties, which manage human services programs. In South Dakota, these SNAP cuts are anticipated to increase demand on food banks, according to Feeding South Dakota. Democratic representatives have criticized the legislation, referring to it as the Republican Big Bad Bill or Big Ugly Bill, arguing that it will raise electricity costs by up to 29%, destroy 1.75 million jobs by eliminating clean energy investments, end student loan repayment programs, and increase the federal deficit. Democrats have proposed an alternative Energy Framework aimed at lowering costs, promoting domestic energy production, and fostering a cleaner energy future. They contend that the bill prioritizes tax breaks for millionaires and billionaires at the expense of energy affordability and job creation.
