Johnson says work requirements, school choice provide path out of poverty

Johnson debuted a plan to address poverty and unemployment in front of a former workforce center in north Minneapolis. He was flanked by a few Minneapolis residents who said government benefit programs helped them as they received work training and got jobs.
