MPR's Laura McCallum reports that Governor Ventura's education budget came under more fire from education groups who say it shortchanges schools. About a thousand students, parents, and educators rallied at the Capitol for more education spending.
Notably, U.S. Senator Paul Wellstone criticized the Governor's budget at a St. Paul school. But Ventura isn't backing down on his intent to hold education increases to the rate of inflation and to put his state budget focus on property tax relief.
