Your "wasted" is my invested. Invested in @educationmn schools, roads, paid family medical leave, legalizing Marijuana, gun reforms. MN does not want to be Alabama. We voted for investment, not cuts. Until @mngop realizes that you can not cut to societal prosperity, you lose.

@mngop @deanbphillips Where is the example? What has @Morrison4MN advocated that makes you feel she is radical? This tweet lacks so much.

And @EducationMN teachers love the support ESPs. We need to give UI and better pay to keep quality people on the job. #mnleg

Without school support staff, our schools cannot operate. Many are leaving the jobs & students they love because they struggle to feed their families throughout the year. Granting them access to unemployment insurance would allow them to stay in our schools. #mnleg

How does cutting 10% make teachers feel respected? You say you want to change education, but how are you going to have any buy-in when you force us to say goodbye to our colleagues in Spring with cuts? @EducationMN Teachers are tired of cuts. #respect

. @drscottjensen 's closing argument appears to be that he wants to make Minnesota schools more like Mississippi schools. I love Mississippi. I was so proud to live there. But I don't even think most folks in Mississippi recommend that strategy. #mngov

Breaking: Minnesota projects a $7.7B general fund surplus. Strong growth in income, consumer spending, and corporate profits drove extraordinary revenues in FY21. Higher tax receipts are expected to continue with the improvement of the economic outlook.

@RyanWilsonMN @julieblaha Place your request with the Legislative Auditor, since it is their responsibility. Running for the job, you should know this. Not the state of MN auditor. This is for cheap points with those who don't know and don't want to research.

"You didn't create the tier 2 [pension] problem. But you can create the solution." "Without educators, our communities will struggle." @RyanFiereck is dropping some truth about chronically under funded @EducationMN pensions. The state can fix it this year. #redfored

@TombstonePizza I see you are advertising again on sale @HyVee . Your prices used to be 4/$10. Now it would be 4/$16. Quality hasn't changed yet a 60% price hike on the sale price from just 2 yrs. Ago. No. I shop @7thavenuepizza if I'm paying more. They sponsor kids jerseys

Tying to inflation is critical for @EducationMN teachers. We need to end the cycle of cutting so many teachers yearly, then bringing back some. We lose people from education because of this "policy".

The final K-12 bill has a 4%/2% formula increase tied after that to inflation.

@PatGarofalo But this is getting no attention from MN GOP. As a high profile member of MN GOP, you cannot be for skipping debates for your side and then castigating the other side. Walz is debating 3x, which is average this cycle.

It is prep time and at least my principals honor that. Too many @EducationMN are pulled during their prep to cover classes with the shortage of substitutes. In my district, 24 preps by different teachers have been lost to cover no subs in a week. We need to hold to "duty-free."

This stat is why we need to give teachers more respect... so they stay teaching kids. @EducationMN teachers have been demonized instead of praised by anti-public education forces. Respect means giving them the same air as other civil servants, fire, EMS, police, nurses et. al.

Between 2008 and 2019, the number of students completing traditional teacher education programs in the U.S. dropped by more than a third. Imagine what it will be post Covid. If we don't start taking care of our teachers, there will soon be no one left!

Looking at you my old School district -- they approved ULA for TENURED teachers as cuts go deeper. Districts do not have funds to keep teachers. We need #mnleg to #fundourschools @MinnesotaDFL @mngop @EducationMN Please tell me how @isd191 are full of cash

@njmajerus OK GOP Comms director. This moderate Rep/conservative dem. watched a candidate spit on teachers, not understand diversity, and get crushed by Walz regarding his actions as a doctor with the opioid crisis. But spin away... I guess...
