Please Contact Legislators to Support NAZ Families Dear NAZ Supporters, We are asking you to contact state legislators today and tomorrow to encourage them to support House File 3172—a bill to bolster the groundbreaking work at the Northside Achievement Zone (NAZ). The bill is currently being worked on by a conference committee of House and Senate members. This bill will help NAZ reach our goal of enrolling 3,000 North Minneapolis children on a “cradle to career” path to college. Strong early evidence shows that the NAZ approach is working! Sample language is provided below, as well as a list of contact information. We are grateful for your help! Sample Email/Phone Language I’m asking for your support for House File 3172, which provides $1.1 million for the Northside Achievement Zone’s (NAZ) work to permanently close the achievement gap and end poverty in North Minneapolis. This funding will increase the number of low-income North Minneapolis families who can enroll in NAZ and become leaders in community transformation that will bolster an educated workforce for our entire state. The NAZ approach is already showing early results in North Minneapolis - arguably one of the most distressed areas in our state: • Young NAZ scholars are more likely to be ready for kindergarten. • NAZ scholars are jumping ahead substantially in reading and math through after school and summer programs. • NAZ reduced housing instability for 1/3 of enrolled families. With your support, NAZ can serve as an incubator for best practices for the entire state. Please support the full $1.1M proposal.

The 349 candidates who received a public subsidy payment represent 78% of the 449 legislative candidates who were on the general election ballot. A list of qualifying candidates and the payments they received is attached. Of the 504 candidates who filed for state legislative office this year, 401 (79.3%) signed voluntary agreements to abide by spending limits and other conditions required to be eligible for public subsidy payments for their campaigns.

    Date: August 30, 2019 To: Representative Lyndon Carlson

    This document is made available electronically by the Minnesota Legislative Reference Library as part of an ongoing digital archiving project. http://www.leg.state.mn.us/lrl/lrl.asp Date: August 30, 2019 To: Representative Lyndon Carlson, Chair Senator Julie Rosen, Chair Representative Pat Garofalo Senator Richard Cohen Representative Paul Marquart, Chair Senator Roger Chamberlain, Chair Representative Greg Davids Senator Ann Rest From: Britta Reitan, State Budget Director Subject: Local Impact Note Request: SF 274 (Lang) – County employees mobilized in the United States military reserve component pay differential award authorization Minnesota Management and Budget (MMB) has completed the local impact note requested for SF 274 (Lang) – county employees mobilized in the United States military reserve component pay differential award authorization. A copy of the note is attached. Local impact notes are similar to the fiscal notes that you are familiar with, but they focus on the fiscal impact of proposed legislation on local governments rather than the state. This process is described in Minnesota Statutes 2018, sections 3.987 and 3.988. This statute requires MMB to gather and analyze information on local costs of legislation when requested by the chair or ranking minority member of the House and Senate Taxes committees, the House Ways and Means committee, or the Senate Finance committee. Senate File 274 makes multiple changes to MS 471.975. First, it requires that all Minnesota counties provide differential pay to members of the National Guard or other reserve components that are called to active duty. Second, it requires counties to continue an employee’s health and dental insurance benefits until coverage is provided by the armed forces.
