My state representative, Keith Downey (R-Edina) had a big win this week when his "human capital bond" idea was included in the human services budget passed by the state House. It is only a $20 million pilot-project, and there is no guarantee it will be signed into law, but it's a start.
Bob DeBoer at the Citizens League policy blog (April 7 entry) does yeoman's work in straightening out the Star Tribune article I link to, above.
Further reading: see the Citizens League Minnesota Journal Nov/Dec 2010 cover story for a primer on the concept of "Human Capital Performance Bonds".
