    Minnesota State Budget Comment Line
    The Minnesota House has set up an online form for Minnesotan's to have a say in how we confront the projected budget deficit.

  • We want our children to arrive at Kindergarten ready to learn.
  • We want our special education children to reach their full potential.
  • We want a world-class K-12 education for All Minnesota children.
  • We want competitive, affordable higher education.

    We want Minnesota to Keep the Promise of Every Child! Show your support for ALL Ages & Stages of Learning!


    • "The question is not whether we can afford to invest in every child; it is whether we can afford not to."
