Senators square off over school vouchers

In an Op-Ed in Tuesday's Star Tribune, Sen. David Hann, R-Eden Prairie, threw down the gauntlet. He challenged Sen. Steve Kelley, DFL-Hopkins, to a public debate on the issue of school vouchers. Hann is sponsoring a bill that would allow low-income families to spend state education dollars at private schools, and Kelley has accused him of trying to "blow up public education."
