minnesota care premiums because of the continued exchange problems. the state of california received over $1 billion in federal grant dollars to establish its exchange, covered california, the most of any state. despite call center and website woes, california had the highest enrollment of 2014 but only retained 65% of its 2014 enrollees. this year california's enrollment numbers reached 1.4 million, falling 300,000 short of expectations. cms awarded the state of connecticut approximately $176 million in federal establishment grants, and as of september 2015, approximately 96,000 individuals were enrolled. only 50% enrollees were previously uninsured. oregon received $305 million for covered oregon. despite this heavy investment, covered oregon was dissolved early this year and transferred its responsibilities to the department of consumer and business services. the state is currently operating as a federally supported state-based marketplace and relies on healthcare.gov. so we're here to understand the challenges these state exchanges face. why are t

manufacturing is responsible for 14% of minnesota's g.d.p. manufacturing is a huge driver in our economy. we manufacturer manufacture great things. we did the hvac system for the new world trade center, for the freedom tower. this is why i want to talk about one of the greatest problems that our manufacturers face today, and that's the skills gap gap. manufacturers cannot find enough skilled workers to help them compete in a global economy. according to enterprise minnesota, an organization that supports manufacturers in my state, there are over 6,500 open manufacturing jobs in minnesota waiting to be filled. and my experience talking with manufacturers confirms that they're desperate to higher good people with the right skills for jobs that can support a middle-class life for workers and their families. in the words of just one manufacturer kim aragony of haberman machine in oakdale minnesota, "we are still suffering from a skills gap. for my company specifically you it no longer is a capacity issue because of equipment but one with people.

in fact out of those 5 games, only minnesota has an overall winning record. next week maryland visits iowa city. the hawkeyes are an early 16 point favorite. most coaches don't believe in iowa state suffered another loss on saturday against baylor, but paul rhoads was able to find some positives. the cyclones got off to a horrendous start falling behind 35-zip in the first half. sam richardson struggled at quarterback, completing just 3 of 11 passes for 12 yards, which included 2 interceptions. 2nd half, in steps joel lanning, and we have life in the iowa state offense. lanning throws for 144 yards and 3 td's to make the game respectable. so one would assume after saturday that lanning will be the starter this week, but nothing official yet. here are the season stats. obviously richardson has started every game with lanning getting spot duty here and there. 5 touchdowns, no interceptions for joel, and he's also completing passes at a 65 percent clip. cyclones return home this week to take on texas. longhorns are just 3-4, but they have won 2 in a row over okl

when we got to minnesota state -- when the minnesota progressive legislators got together and pushed the agenda, they raised taxes on the wealthy and balanced the state budget. they invented all-day -- they didn't invent it. i wish we did. like an internet moment. they invested in all-day kindergarten and preschool. they froze tuition for public colleges and as you know tuition was galloping at double digits at some points. they got together and passed the minnesota dream act to allow dreamers to be eligible for state financial aid. and here's the thing, a year before they took over in 2012, what we were fighting for before that, a year before they were in the minority, we were fighting off a constitutional amendment which was going to be to try to a grown person who they should get married to or not. i mean, like an adult person cannot decide who they want to be married to because somebody else believes that it's like their position to make that decision for someone else. they tried to put it on the ballot, right? and we beat them at the ballot box, but not -- that's worth an applau
