Included in the bill for higher education is the $5 million for a University of Minnesota, Rochester campus and $100,000 for a veterans service coordinator for MnSCU. Today at the Capitol Today at 11:15 a.m. at the capitol, Gov. Pawlenty will be signing HF3169, the bill that prohibits all cities from assessing colleges and students with a learning tax.
