Emmer pushes for MN GI Bill. There's just one problem...

[ccharles000]

It appears gubernatorial candidate Tom Emmer might be suffering from a case of legislative amnesia.

Emmer told a crowd of about two dozen veterans in Elk River Thursday that he supports the creation of a Minnesota GI bill, which would give money to the families of fallen soldiers for higher education expenses.

“I don’t know if you remember, a few years ago the governor had proposed ,” said Emmer, a state representative. “And I think that’s something we should certainly be looking at and it’s unfortunate we haven’t done something like that already.”

There’s just one problem: The proposal became law in 2007. It was included in a broader higher education appropriations bill, which Emmer voted against.
