  The Chancellor's Office of the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities system
While we received an increase this time, the state of Minnesota is still struggling with the forces that have led to deficits in the past - rising costs for health care, Medicaid and prisons, rising demand from other areas of government, and a reluctance among policy makers to raise taxes.
We must convince the people of Minnesota that the key to the state's success in the future is having informed and educated people who have the knowledge and skills to support their families, participate in the democratic process and contribute to the state's vitality.
Our state's population is becoming more and more ethnically and racially diverse, and we are serving more and more students whose parents did not attend college, low-income students, and students for whom English is a second language, including refugees and immigrants from countries around the world.

 Boom time for state finances
States closed their fiscal 2006 books with nearly 25 percent more money than the previous year, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures' latest survey of states' fiscal conditions.
States also had more money than expected because many states were conservative last year in their budget forecasts, figuring it was better to underestimate projected revenues rather than be forced to cut later.
States had estimated revenues to grow by 2.7 percent in fiscal 2006, but once the ledgers closed on the most recent fiscal year, the actual figure was 7.7 percent, NCSL said in its report, which includes budget data from 49 states and tax data from 44 states.

Among the 50 states in the nation, Minnesota ranked third, along with Connecticut and Colorado, as the states with the highest growth in state prison population last year, according to a report released Sunday by the U.S. Justice Department.
Minnesota's inmate spike contributed to a 2.6 percent overall increase in the nation's state and federal inmate population, compared with 2001.
The decade-long rising prison rates are the result of tougher laws, longer prison sentences, and more parole or probation revocations - all byproducts of a "lock 'em up" mentality that swept the nation during the late 1980s and 1990s.

 Sentencing and Correctional Policy (91-07)
Although Minnesota's incarceration rate remains one of the lowest in the country, the state's prisons and jails are full despite the beds that have been added during the past ten years.
Minnesota has managed to avoid serious problems until recently largely because there was excess capacity in prisons and jails when the period of growth in incarceration began.
Nearly half of new prison commitments arrive with less than one year to serve, and one-third of these were sent to prison because of technical violations of probation or supervised release as opposed to a new conviction.

BIG NUMBERS The number of drug offenders in Minnesota prisons grew from almost 12 percent of Minnesota's inmates in 1980 to more than 30 percent of almost 7,000 prisoners in 2002, the most recent year for which statistics are available.
In the face of the state's escalating meth crisis, Rep. Julie Rosen and Sen. Bob Gunther, Fairmont Republicans, proposed a bill that would lengthen the maximum sentence for possessing the ingredients to make meth to 10 years on the first offense and 15 years on the second.
The study surmised that a big reason why Minnesota meth offenders spend so much time in prison is because, if they are caught with 10 grams or more, they also are charged with "intent to sell," whether or not police can prove that's what they planned to do.
