Minnesota Governor Unveils Little Free Library at State Capitol

I love this. He's a champion for keeping books in schools and in libraries.

In celebration of Reading Month, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz unveiled the first ever Little Free Library in the State Capitol. With more than 1,200 attempts to ban or restrict books in the U.S. last year, according to Unite Against Book Bans, the Little Free Library celebrates books and helps to ensure they remain accessible in Minnesota. The Governor unveiled the library alongside librarians and advocates for book accessibility. ...

“In Minnesota, we are focused on investing in education, our future, and children and families across the state. We’re not in the business of taking books away from kids and schools – and we certainly don’t believe in banning books that tell our history,” said Governor Walz. “This Little Free Library is one way we’re doing our part to ensure books remain accessible to teach, tell our story, and inspire the next generation of readers in Minnesota.”


My neighbor put one of those in front of her house. Maybe she should be VP!


Was she a governor?

Because it sounds like you think anyone that eats a jellybean can run a country. Alas, you left Reagan far, far behind in your sights.

For a very long time, they were a dual income teacher/teacher household. You know how much money they make. For a long time, they tried IVF to have children. You know how much that costs. He has put money into his children’s 529 plan. They had a house that they sold when he moved into the governor’s mansion. Until his decision to run for office, the Walz family had a perfectly middle class life.

This is not a failure, it’s a good thing. He didn’t sell himself out and make himself beholden to special interests, which means that he could actually work on behalf of his constituents without external pressures. I think we have became so used to corruption in politics that when we see someone who is not, it seems like a bad thing.


He actually has 5 pensions. You’re not counting his pension as current gov, which will allegedly be $60,000 a year.


I tried to figure it out, I think with a single term probably half of that. But
What he has not done, is to enrich himself while in office.


Saving money and wisely investing them is not illegal enrichment, it is indicative of financial education and wisdom. I am an immigrant and I don't know anyone who does not own a house by the age of 40 and who does not have at least a million in various investments by the age of 40. To be old as Tim and not to own a house and not to have any investments other than government pensions is very concerning. If he cannot manage his own money and his own spendings, how we can trust him with our money?


This is such a bizarre take, and I say this as an immigrant with investments and a home. If you have enough of a pension to support you for the rest of your life, what exactly is the problem?


Money management is a problem. The person for 40 years did not learn how to manage money. Huge red flag.


He’s not in debt and has pensions worth multiple millions of dollars. What red flag?


DP. "Multiple millions of dollars"?? What on earth are you talking about?

Walz’s exact net worth is not known, but it’s estimated to be between $112,003 to $330,000 without counting his federal pension, which could add as much as $800,000 to that number.

A 2019 disclosure estimated the pensions to be worth $81,000 to $215,000 and a federal retirement plan for his years of service in Congress could earn a federal retirement benefit of $55,000 per year.

I have seen the calculations of his multiple pensions being worth more than 2 million. Pensions are worth a lot!


You are lying. Why?

With a net worth between $112,003 and $330,000, Walz sits far below his peers. Research shows that the average net worth for congresspeople and senators is around $1 million.

If we’re estimating that Walz’s net worth is on the high end of that—$330,000—he’s still far below where a typical 60-year-old should be if they want to retire.

And while Walz does not have a 401(k), IRA, or taxable brokerage account, he does have a pension, which seems to be his sole source of retirement funds.

Nowadays, the pension is a relic. Only about 15 percent of private-sector workers have access to a pension, according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Heh so your slam against him is that he's not disgustingly rich like most politicians?

I guess to his credit, I don't think he's filed for bankruptcy all that often

She admitted lying. Give it up, PP. This is tiresome and weird.

"I was in the command post and I heard it. I heard the governor say, 'Give it up,'" Hedberg, a Minneapolis Police Federation director, told senators. "Wasn’t directly to me. It was through a phone call of how the governor says, 'Give up the precinct.'

In an interview after her testimony, Hedberg told FOX 9 she heard the information "third-hand." She declined to name her source.

So, tell us.... What did Walz do to stop the violence? What did he do to stop the take over of the police station?
Because he spent hours twiddling his thumbs while the city burned and while the mob took over the police station.
And, his wife seems to enjoy the smell of burning tires since she opened her windows so she could smell it.

He didn't call in the National Guard for hours like the Democratic mayor was begging him to do. So, what did he do?

Yeah, let's have you (or other PP) tell us first why that was quoted as if it were true.

Did you not know, or did you know but still want to fling it? How unprepared is your party to govern this country if you have to rely on lies and slander?

Trump can't even get his former VP or former senior officials to endorse him.

Walz deployed the MN National Guard. It was their largest deployment since WWII. There's no way anyone could try and claim he sold anyone out with a deployment that big. Trump commended and praised Walz.

End of story. Stop with the lies.

Kamala's first decision, and they did not properly vet Walz. Were blindsided by the National Guard retirement, and now had to edit their bio and video of him.
