Gov. Dayton to Lawmakers: Pony Up Money for Early Education

Minnesota Gov. Dayton is putting lawmakers on notice: pony up more for early education programs to unlock money for their priorities.

Minnesota was just ranked number 1 for child well-being, North Dakota came in 7th.

Dayton says it’s good news but shows the state needs to better fund schools for the state’s youngest learners.

Republican legislators have big plans for tax relief heading into the 2016 session.

But Dayton says he won’t sign a tax bill if they don’t put up an “equitable” amount for early education.
