Jeff Johnson, Tim Walz debate how to make Minnesota schools better

The two major party candidates for governor highlighted starkly different visions for Minnesota in a debate that saw them clash over how best to help struggling schools and students.

The main subject of the forum sponsored by the TwinWest Chamber of Commerce in Plymouth was Minnesota’s perpetual shortage of skilled workers. Mostly maintaining the congenial tone of their debates so far, Republican Jeff Johnson and DFLer Tim Walz agreed that a higher quality education for more students is the best path to that but strongly differed on how to get there.
