Earlier this week Minnesota Governor Tim Walz introduced his revised state budget proposal, and Minnesota House Republicans raised concerns about proposed funding cuts to education statewide. Representative Ron Kresha (R-Little Falls) tells us more about the proposed cuts, and the GOP’s plan for education funding. 

Co-Chair of the House Education Committee Rep. Peggy Bennett (R-Albert Lea) spoke about things she’s hearing from Minnesota Superintendents in the education committee, and she says a lot of the schools funding shortfalls are from unfunded mandates implemented by the Minnesota Legislature last year. 

Lastly Rep. Ben Bakeberg (R-Jordan) called for state legislators and leaders to “listen to local educators”, and not bureaucrats in St Paul.
