The Economy. Priming the Research and Development Pump at the University of Minnesota.
In an editorial entitled: "U of M / Research, outreach must be supported" published on August 6, 2002 the Star Tribune argued that a winning formula for research and development at the University of Minnesota involves the state providing state-of-the-art facilities and salaries high enough to attract top investigative minds and the federal government funds the research.

(The full editorial is at: http://www.startribune.com/stories/561/3142430.html). This was the core of the Citizens League proposal – the Northstar Research Coalition - that has in fact passed the Minnesota Senate in two separate sessions. Priming the pump with state funds to attract leading talent and equip them with research facilities has been successful in many states, perhaps most notably in Georgia's Research Coalition.

The Minnesota Journal editorial of March 2001, entitled: "Northstar Research Coalition: Priority for new economy” published almost two and a half years ago, makes many of the same points (The Viewpoint is at: http://www.citizensleague.net/mj/2000/03/vp031400.htm). (99)
