Health disparities are defined as the difference in the burden of diseases and health status that exist among specific population groups. They are closely linked with social, economic and environmental conditions.

Community News 4 March 2016 LATINO AMERICAN TODAY WWW.LATINOAMERICANTODAY.COM Keep the American Dream Alive Greg Ryan Pledges Support for the Immigrant Business Community By Claud Santiago isiting El Bravo Mexican VRestaurant on Rice street off of University Avenue in St. Paul, Greg Ryan candidate for U.S. House of Representatives in the 4th District, pledged his support for the Hispanic business community and commends their great achievements and the important role they play in the Twin Cities economic growth. With Ryan for this visit is Rick Aguilar, a Twin Cities business leader Pete Bravo, Greg Ryan, and Rick Aguilar and one of the founders of the Minnesota Hispanic Greg Ryan with Pete Bravo, owner of El Chamber of Commerce, Bravo Mexican Restaurant and Chair of the Saint Paul Area Chamber of Commerce in the year 2000. Ryan commented that “ Multicultural busi- ness owners Hispanic, Asian American and other immigrant groups have transformed the University Avenue cooridor from what in the 1970s had become a decaying urban wasteland, home to closed businesses and board- ed up storefronts, to the thriving commercial district it is today.” Immigrant business owners are realizing the American Dream and Ryan is on a mis- sion to make sure that the dream stays alive. His vision for Minnesota is to help small businesses like those on University Avenue grow and cre- ate more jobs. Ryan commented to Aguilar on the “wonderful ecomomic development that has happened in this area.” “ The enterprise and hard work of the Immigrant business owners has produced positive results for University Avenue,” Ryan commented. Greg Ryan feels that the University Avenue corridor with the addition of the new Green Line Light Rail system represents an important change for St.Paul and offers new opportunities for the Immigrant business community in the 4th district. Many business corridors in St. Paul, like Payne Avenue and Cesar Chavez Street have seen Hispanic immigrants take advantage of the “American Dream” and the chance to open their own businesses and create jobs in the community. Ryan know that they need less regulations and lower taxes to be able to grow. Ryan understands the importance of the immigrant communities and what they can contribute to Minnesota’s economy. In his own words Ryan stated “I want to keep the American Dream alive for the immigrant communities and make Minnesota a state where business thrives and immigrants get the opportunity to contribute and make a difference.” Community News WWW.LATINOAMERICANTODAY.COM LATINO AMERICAN TODAY March 2016 5 Know Your Value By Marci Malzahn I recently spoke at Encourage Her Network, a women’s networking group that focuses on promoting and connecting women in business. The topic was “Know Your Value.” When Shannon Johnson, founder of Encourage Her Network, gave me the title for their Signature Event, I was immediately inspired because it meant two things to me. First, the title implies that each person is valuable and second, that each person needs to know their value. As the keynote speaker, I felt the responsibility to remind the women of how valuable they are and also to tell them why. So I decided to focus on four key areas: Know Your Value as an employee, as an employer, as a leader, and as a person. But before I get into each of those areas, let me describe the word “value” and “valuable.” The Webster’s Dictionary defines the word “value” as s a noun to mean “relative worth, merit or importance; monetary or material worth.” As a verb, value means “to calculate the monetary value of something, to consider with respect to worth, excellence, usefulness, or importance, to regard or esteem highly.” So what determines if something is valuable? In regards to material things, it’s what people are willing to pay for the specific item, product, or service.

    polit ics.mn http://politics.mn/2012/11/05/politics-mn-election-day-predictions-obama-wins-minnesota-big-victory-by- klobuchar-gop-loses-seats-in-the-minnesota-legislature-photo-id-passes-marriage-amendment-fails/ Predictions: Obama, Klobuchar Win in Minnesota, GOP Loses Seats in Legislature, Photo ID Amendment Passes, Marriage Amendment Fails I don’t think I’ve ever I’ve seen an election cycle in Minnesota where so many pundits are confident on some races, while also shrugging their shoulders with a dazed look on their faces about the down ballot races. You don’t have to be a political scientist to predict Tuesday’s election will be based on turnout. But because of a blow-out U.S. Senate race and two controversial constitutional amendments appearing on the ballot, election night will be an unpredictable night for control of the Minnesota Legislature. I’ve talked with GOP and DFL operatives and below are my predictions for Election Day. President President Barack Obama (D) vs. Mitt Romney (GOP) – Winner: President Obama will win Minnesota. My prediction is President Obama will win Minnesota by more than 5 points, but less than 8 points. I also believe President Obama will win re- election, by collecting 280 to 310 Electoral Votes. As I noted yesterday, Minnesota presented a real opportunity for the Romney campaign and resources should have been spent here weeks ago. But Romney’s campaign has not put the substantive resources needed into Minnesota to make the race more competitive and Ryan’s vanity stop yesterday won’t put Minnesota in the win column for Romney.

Yet, too often, Minnesota’s confusing policymaking process makes it hard to understand what’s happening with education policy change at the Capitol. Given our state’s urgent need to address opportunity and achievement gaps, this is unacceptable. To accomplish more for Minnesota students, we need greater transparency around policy progress and setbacks. We made this legislative scorecard to help you understand education efforts over the last two years, also known as the legislative biennium. We recap key policies that legislators introduced, our position, and, when possible, the votes. Though our policymakers didn’t make as much progress for Minnesota students as we hoped during the 90th biennium, they made some notable changes. For example, our legislators reached across the aisle to: • open Minnesota’s doors to great out-of-state and alternatively prepared educators; • support new programs to recruit and retain teachers of color; • advance trailblazing legislation to disaggregate student achievement data, and more. Of course, there’s much more work to do to set up all Minnesota students for success.
