With the end of the fiscal year closing in, Minnesota is running far ahead of projections when it comes to revenue. May was just the latest banner month, when Minnesota took in $148 million more than expected.
Questions about her tax returns were raised last week following an investigation by the Minnesota Campaign Finance and Public Disclosure Board into Omar's use of campaign funds for personal, out-of-state travel.
Omar, who was a first-term state representative at the time of the violations, must reimburse her former campaign committee $3,469 to cover travel and legal costs and pay a $500 civil penalty.
