Minnesota GOP outlines 1977 aims education tests and housing
Minnesota House GOP leaders presented a 1977 agenda focusing on a statewide high school reading and writing test, renewed school funding, senior services, and a housing study. They argue reforms can pass without new taxes, citing potential savings by canceling a Capitol building project. They predict lighter governor influence and expect DFL majorities to set the tone.
