It is nice to see that someone in the Legislature agrees with me - you can positively affect the economy and fund education at the same time: Red Wing Republican-Eagle reports that Senate Education Chairman LeRoy Stumpf (DFL-Plummer) says, "The federal government has not funded special education programs at the rate stated in law, so states must use more of their tax revenue to make up the difference. More federal aid would free up state money"
More federal money for Special Ed. would reduce the State obligations and either help to bridge the state's budget gap, or provide more funding for education overall. This is what I meant in my post on December 17 that also appeared in the Patriot on January 1 - creative thinking...political will.
Thank you Mr. Stumpf.
