I look forward to Kean’s support for a PFML program that will allow *all* Americans to take several months of paid leave to deal with major illnesses.

Minnesota's new paid leave program also offers safety leave for domestic violence survivors. But as lawmakers consider PFML cuts, this program's future could be in jeopardy, columnist Rochelle Olson writes.

Minnesota's new paid leave program also offers safety leave for domestic violence survivors. But as lawmakers consider PFML cuts, this program's future could be in jeopardy, columnist Rochelle Olson writes.
Dems are not talking about cutting or trimming PFML. This is an overwhelmingly popular, critical, and productive new program for Minnesota workers and businesses.
Why is Strib Opinion framing this as accepting cuts at all, just gutless. You get to have opinions and use the bully pulpit, not turn turtle.

As a new policy, PFML is idea for building in-house or civic tech capacity to deliver. Do not have to build on legacy systems. Once you hand it over to a private vendor, they will own it forever.
There's legislation before the Virginia General Assembly that would create a paid family & medical leave program, but it will live or die on the fiscal impact statement. Will agency staff draw on states that have taken charge of their enabling software (Maryland), or those that have spent a fortune?

Since Paid Family and Medical Leave started in March, workers have used it largely to take time off for serious medical needs or to have kids. PFML is allowing Maine workers to take time off when they need it most.

Nobody takes PFML because they want a vacation. If you are using PFML, you are sick. Or you had a baby, or are taking care of a family member.

Her husband actually articulates a leftist pro-natalista really well! My version looks like:
A generous CTC
PFML a la the Canadian system
Cover pregnancy/conception/birth with Medicaid
Pre-K
Home building
Local services (pools, playgrounds, sidewalks, etc)

Gonna watch some testimony on MN's paid family medical leave law; and HF 1976 is pretty awful, you guys. PFML passed in 2023; and it is ready to go. Delaying it, amending it--so bad. #mnleg

It's really really difficult but still worth it. I'm glad WA state has PFML to help with this kinda stuff even for just the short term I need it.

Woot! PFML claim was approved so I can actually get paid while on leave. That's a relief.

Walz has unfortunately been awkward in his wording in this answer on PFML, but overall it’s good and he’s right.
