Koering: We All Need To Look For Public School Funding Solutions

Fort Ripley lawmaker Paul Koering met with the group favoring more money for public education from Brainerd and Crosby Ironton earlier this week. And the Senator said he emphathizes with the group but wonders if there’s not a better way to solve the Minnesota public school funding problem. Koering said raising more taxes to put more money toward public education isn't always the answer. Senator Koering said the legislature and the governor have to put their heads together and develop a long-range plan, to decide where we want to be in five, ten, fifteen years. Koering said everybody needs to help find the solution because the future of public education in the state is on the line.
