Carlson Supports Schools Payment

State Senator John Carlson of Bemidji has voted with the Republican majority to return $430 million dollars that the state owes Minnesota schools.  The money would come from state reserves.

The Bemidji Republican tells KLKS news, that would return Minnesota to the 70/30 split that existed at the start of 2011. 

Senator Carlson says the state reserve is fully funded for the first time in a few years.
