Governor’s budget protects E-12 education, boosts early childhood programs

Mark Dayton’s budget plan been called has “honest and thoughtful” Education Minnesota President Tom Dooher. The Governor plans to invest in children’s education instead of taking money away from education to fix the state’s 6.2 billion dollar deficit. I think that’s a great idea because why on earth would we punish students and teachers by taking resources away from education. I think that would just set the state up for a future of an under educated work force. Dayton plans to increase taxes along with cutting 15 million in unspecified K-12 programs. I hope this becomes more of a national trend to pay more attention to education to ensure the United States future.
