Education, taxes, health care and the DFL's two-decade absence from the governor's office were among the topics covered during a gubernatorial debate last night in Hopkins.
Eleven DFL candidates (Tom Bakk, Mark Dayton, Matt Entenza, Susan Gaertner, Steve Kelley, Margaret Anderson Kelliher, John Marty, Tom Rukavina, R.T. Rybak, Ole Savior and Paul Thissen) participated in the two-hour event. Organizers used an unusual format where no more than three candidates were on stage at any one time.
The feature examines statements made by Minnesota politicians and checks them for accuracy. Based on data analysis, document reviews and interviews with non-partisan analysts, statements are rated either true, false or inconclusive. PoliGraph is a collaboration between Minnesota Public Radio News and the Humphrey School of Public Affairs at the University of Minnesota.
