st. PAUL — Minnesota Gov. Walz on Tuesday Team, Jan. 17, unveiled his administration’s education spending plan, proposed child tax credits and made his pitch for the creation of a new state agency dedicated to children and families.
The $12 billion package is the first piece of Walz’s budget proposals and includes billions in additional education spending, including more than $800 million for universal lunches for public school students. It would also provide billions in child tax credits over the next few years, something the administration said would put a significant dent in child poverty.
