As an addendum to your comments on reading deficiencies we have the Trump proposal to cut $400 million from Americorps, a key funding source for the Reading Partners program to provide tutoring for grade school kids. This is a resource our kids- and schools- cannot afford to lose.
Absolutely agree. AmeriCorps serves MN in many, many ways - tutoring, in-school reading and math instruction, public health, environmental services and more. MN has one of the nation's largest programs, tanks largely to the legacy of the late Sen. Dave Durenberger, one of AmeriCorps' creators. It is extremely shortsighted to cut this national service program
