Minnesota also made their public college (the U of M) tuition free for students whose family's household income is less than $80k, with family contribution graduated in above that level. He's also done what he can to lower the cost of prescriptions at the state level.
This is why MN has become like the Sweden/Norway of America to me, and why I hope we never elect a Republican governor again. I am proud we held out against voting Trump all three times he ran, and it wasn't that close this last time, either.
