28:51Now PlayingIn November, Minnesota Management and Budget (MMB) released its Budget and Economic Forecast. It found that projected reductions in income and sales tax revenues, combined with higher spending for long-term care and special education, would result in a growing structural imbalance – in other words, a budget deficit.
As a response, Governor Walz's new biennial budget includes a 5% reduction in special education transportation reimbursement costs. This week’s Senate Spotlight is dedicated to the topic and host Veronica Marshall talks with Senators on the Education Finance Committee about the cost of special education in Minnesota, the impact it has on families, and how to balance the budget while still meeting the needs of some of the state's most vulnerable students.
The legislature is anticipating more details as MMB is expected to release its February Budget and Economic Forecast on Thursday, March 6.
