Minnesota farmer claims victory over state's race-based grant program
|
[NYPOST] A Minnesota farmer claimed victory in a lawsuit filed against the state in January that said his race and sex placed him at the back of the line to receive grants to buy farmland.
Gov. Tim Waltz recently signed legislation that rolls back the state’s policy of prioritizing "emerging farmers" based on characteristics such as race and sex.
"Thanks to the courage of a small farmer, equality before the law has been restored in Minnesota," Pacific Legal Foundation attorney Andrew Quinio said. "Because Lance Nistler stood up for his right to equal treatment, the state will no longer disadvantage farmers based on their race and sex. We are thrilled that Gov. Walz and the state legislature responded to Lance’s lawsuit by amending the Down Payment Assistance Grant Program so that it does not unlawfully discriminate against Minnesota’s hardworking small farmers. We encourage other states to follow Minnesota’s about-face and stop violating the Constitution’s guarantee of equality before the law."
