Blogging from the Capitol!

Ok, I’m not really in the Capitol.  I’m across the street in the State Office Building (affectionately referred to as the “SOB”), sitting in on the K-12 Finance Committee hearing.

Right now we’re hearing a bill about increasing scholarships grants to high school kids who graduate early.  Well that just finished, and next up is another bill about a grant program.

However, the bill before this one gave a shout out to AmeriCorps, so I figured I’d mention it… when I heard the conversation turn to AmeriCorps I said to myself, “that is totally going in my blog.”  The bill is HF 1046 and it increases funding for the Minnesota Reading Corps.  I know I know not Promise Fellows, but still… AmeriCorps!  What up!
