Guest speakers to discuss public policy issues affecting the well being of Minnesota families

by Sandra Gilderhus
March 17, 2005

What policies should the Legislature pursue to help families thrive in a way that promotes justice? What are the values underlying these policy alternatives? Some policymakers think that taxpayers should be happy to pay for a better Minnesota, while others stand behind Gov. Pawlenty's pledge to balance the budget with "no new taxes." Come to the Viking Theater at 11:30 a.m. to hear different responses to these questions in a discussion by the Rev. Douglas Mitchell, associate pastor for Mission and Outreach at Westminster Presbyterian Church and a board member of the Joint Religious Legislative Coalition, and David Strom, president of the Taxpayers League of Minnesota.
