Senator Roger Chamberlain, R-Lino Lakes, chair of the Senate Education Committee, is overseeing several priorities this session: the Senate's E-12 policy and supplemental funding bill which focuses on improving literacy, a measure to crack down on the algorithms used by social media companies to target children and fact-finding hearings into alleged fraud in a federal nutrition assistance program.  He joins Capitol Report moderator Shannon Loehrke to explain.

With $9.25 billion available to supplement state spending in this non-budget year, the Republican-led Senate and the DFL-led House of Representatives have differing priorities.  Senator Chuck Wiger, DFL-Maplewood, the ranking minority member of the Senate Education Committee, joins Shannon to provide his perspective on the different approaches to, and greatest needs for, supplemental education funding.

Also in the program, highlights from two rigorous Senate floor debates as lawmakers finalize comprehensive policy and supplemental funding bills: an amendment that would create a 100 percent clean energy goal by 2040 and the removal of a provision that would cancel the rent control measures passed by St. Paul and Minneapolis voters last November.
