This week at the Capitol looks a lot like last week at the Capitol. In fact, last week's update wouldn't be entirely inappropriate to just re-send. Both the Education and Health and Human Conference Committees continue to meet irregularly, making it difficult for those following the committees to, well, follow them.
On a broader sense, DFLers continue to try to get the Governor to accept revenue increases, sending him their first bill of the year to increase taxes to pay for Education, Health Care and Long Term Care, which the Governor promptly and expectedly vetoed. To this point, consider joining Invest in Minnesota's Rally Monday, May 11 at Noon. Invest in Minnesota's non-profit, faith and labor communities will gather at the State Capitol Rotunda for a rally that demonstrates organizational and citizen commitment to raising revenues fairly to maintain adequate funding for jobs, dignity, and public services that meet essential needs in communities.
As was mentioned last week, some early care and education organizations submitted memos to conference committee members out lining our priorities. The memos can be found here.
