Seifert works to be the policy candidate

The proposal calls for greater access to online education, capping tuition to inflation, "downsize and decentralize"MnSCU and allow for the opt-out of certain student fees.

The proposal follows Seifert's release of a budget plan and a health care plan. As Seifert and Tom Emmer continue to battle for delegates in the month leading up to the state party convention, it's clear Seifert is trying to distinguish himself as the "nuts and bolts"policy guy from Emmer.
