Candidates to tackle education
Four candidates for governor are scheduled to participate in a forum Tuesday focusing on education issues.
The progressive think tank Growth & Justice, Minnesota Minority Education Partnership, Minnesota Rural Education Association, Parents United for Public Schools, and Ready 4 K, are co-sponsoring the 90 minute event. It begins at 9:00 a.m. at Open Book in Minneapolis. Each candidate gets three minutes for an opening statement. They'll then take turns answering questions from a moderator.
Organizers say DFLers Mark Dayton and Matt Entenza are confirmed, as well as Rob Hahn and Tom Horner from the Independence Party. They invited DFLer Margaret Anderson Kelliher and Republican Tom Emmer, but both declined.
