Well, the latest testing statistics show that Minnesota teachers are doing a less than average quick job of teaching students how to do math clearly someone at the admin knows how numbers that up.They spent $4 million on contributing to the DFL\u2018s sweep of the 2022 elections<\/a>.<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Union president Denise Specht, whose political action committee donates huge sums to DFL candidates each cycle, told WCCO Radio<\/a> she will be asking the Legislature for more than $5 billion to address \u201cchronic underfunding,\u201d increase teacher compensation, and pay for mental health staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe voters rejected the Republican Party\u2019s strategy of obstruction and forced austerity. Now it\u2019s time for Gov. Tim Walz and the leadership in the House and Senate to spend the state\u2019s resources to improve the lives of working Minnesotans,\u201d Specht said in a statement<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She said the state needs to \u201cmake up for funding lost to inflation\u201d and \u201cthen go farther.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

My fearless prediction: driven by jackals like Specht, the DFL will turn the “surplus” – overtaxation – into permanent spending and grift for their stakeholders, just in time for a recession to crater the tax revenue, and leave us with a multibillion dollar deficit in 2026, and likely 2024. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s on my calendar. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
