2010 Gubernatorial Candidate Forum with Senator Mark Dayton (DFL)

The Center for the Study of Politics and Governance sponsored a series of public forums with the major party candidates for Minnesota Governor fostering informed and substantive discussion of important matters of public policy. The forums created an opportunity for the candidates to rise above the talking points and fractious back-and-forth of the campaign to address the important policy challenges facing Minnesota and the country.

Senator Mark Dayton (DFL) gave a presentation on tax equity. The presentation was followed with a short discussion between Professor Lawrence R. Jacobs and Senator Dayton, along with a Q&A from the audience. The conversation was moderated by Professor Jacobs.
