DECEMBER 3: "SMART INVESTMENTS IN MINNESOTA'S STUDENTS"

TTT's ANDY DRISCOLL and LYNNELL MICKELSEN talk with Growth & Justice senior staff about that organization's report and proposal for investments in Minnesota's public education system – "Smart Investments in Minnesota’s Students", contrasting and comparing its recommendations with those of the "New Minnesota Miracle" to erase the state's education funding deficit. We'll ask them how anything ambitious can be accomplished in a climate of contracting revenues and rising deficits. And we ask a key legislator and scholar how they think this might work in such a climate.

GUESTS: • DANE SMITH - President, Growth & Justice • ANGIE EILERS - Senior Policy Director, Growth & Justice • REP. MINDY GREILING, Chair, Minnesota House K-12 Education Committee and author of the "New Minnesota Miracle" bill • NICOLA ALEXANDER - Associate Professor, UofM Education Policy & Administration, G&J "Smart Investments in Minnesota’s Students" Steering Committee member
