Brainerd Mom Organizing Bus for Education

A Brainerd woman wants to gather other citizens who are unhappy with public school funding and complain to the people who supposedly can do something about it; state legislators. Anne Holub wants to sign people up for a bus ride to St. Paul on Tuesday April 1st. Holub said she still has plenty of room on the bus and people shouldn't fear that if they do sign up, they'll have to speak in public or to lawmakers themselves. Holub said organizers of the trip have 'talking points' they will hand out to participants so that "everyone is on the same page." Holub said the Minnesota State Constitution said only transportation and education are mentioned as services to be funded and "they took care of transportation because a bridge collapsed and education is getting close to the same point, collapse." If you'd like to sign up for the trip to the state capitol on Tuesday, April 1st, contact Holub online at holub@charter.net or call the Brainerd School District Communications office at 218-454-6927. Holub hopes that people from all over the Lakes Area would take the time to make the trip especially those from Crosby-Ironton, Walker, Wadena, and Little Falls or anywhere people are convinced that public education is in trouble.
