I'm sure they didn't plan on the good times to keep rolling along with Vid money, budget surplus money, and another $10b in taxes and fees increase in MN, right?

Seriously, after Walz's pledge of historic investments in education, district after district and the whole U of M system continues to run into systemic budget issues.

How?

Seriously - How?

Maybe we do need an oversight and overhaul of education in this state.

It isn't like Stillwater is some po-dunk backwoods school system with 400 kids and decreasing in their district.

There is so much stupidity. The free school lunch thing irks me. The average house in my neighborhood pays more than $30k/yr in real estate tax yet all of our kids get free lunch. That makes zero sense. There are tons of people whom have kids that need nutrition and I am all down with helping them, but there is zero reason my kids should get their lunch paid for. That is the tip of the iceberg...

My goodness, you’d think all those smart, over educated Democrats involved in public education could prevent that from happening yet it’s always the opposite.

It is almost like the FOF scam - we have "X" number of students, send is lunch money (even of only 3/4 of them are having school lunches).

This is sometimes how they base the amount of "hungry" children in charts. By the number of students getting free and reduced lunches or by who is trying to sign up. Then using that, schools get more state money.

As usual you missed the point. All of MN gets free lunch....

Keep thinking the way you vote doesn't matter.

Derp. For president in MN it doesn't. Since you are so smart explain why it does. We all need another laugh.

Your perfect candidate doesn't exist. Get that into your small intellect and then maybe you will understand the meaning of compromise yet still winning.

That doesn't mean my vote for president matters. Can't answer the question?

I have answered this many times already, but you just won't accept it. Either vote for a conservative candidate that may win or you are effectively voting for a liberal.

That doesn't make my vote for president matter. Not even close. Do you understand what it even means to vote? How about rudimentary odds?
