Dig Deep - Does More Money for Education Make Our Communities Better? pt 1

KAXE | By Heidi Holtan
Published May 27, 2019 at 8:25 AM CDT

Chuck Marohn our conservative commentator for Dig Deep asks a provocative question to liberal commentator Aaron Brown (he's an educator) :  does more money for education make a town "less poor"?  And Aaron then asks, what do they mean by the word education?  Education, Aaron argues, can be very political.

They talk about books by some of their favorite authors including Jane Jacobs and Jared Diamond.
