0:00:00.919,0:00:02.399
the ground

0:00:02.399,0:00:05.270
after each candidate is the one that opening
statement

0:00:05.270,0:00:08.909
I laughed the first in a series of questions
to the candidates

0:00:08.909,0:00:10.299
bill each have one minute

0:00:10.299,0:00:11.739
the answer the question

0:00:11.739,0:00:13.090
and I will follow up

0:00:13.090,0:00:15.889
with one to or all three of the candidates

0:00:15.889,0:00:16.880
he broke the ice

0:00:16.880,0:00:20.039
he determined that we will start Senator dayton

0:00:20.039,0:00:21.470
followed by mister porter

0:00:21.470,0:00:23.729
followed by representative

0:00:23.729,0:00:25.490
everything your opening statement

0:00:25.490,0:00:28.080
the defense appears to thank you all for being
here

0:00:28.080,0:00:29.619
why did you join donna

0:00:29.619,0:00:32.339
son Andrew the who's the third year

0:00:32.339,0:00:34.890
boston the university of minnesota

0:00:34.890,0:00:39.610
unfortunately it is a small but important
questions for members of Hamas four

0:00:39.610,0:00:43.219
it's appropriate or here at the university
has higher education

0:00:43.219,0:00:47.140
throughout minnesota is so important to the
future of our state

0:00:47.140,0:00:48.160
and yet in minnesota

0:00:48.160,0:00:50.000
the drop from being the

0:00:50.000,0:00:54.880
well higher state among the nation's in this
expenditures for higher education in two thousand

0:00:54.880,0:00:55.490
one

0:00:55.490,0:00:57.410
the thirty-fifth please

0:00:57.410,0:00:59.460
among the states in two thousand nine

0:00:59.460,0:01:01.780
our commitment to higher education as

0:01:01.780,0:01:03.229
the other aspects of

0:01:03.229,0:01:05.430
public education minnesota has fallen

0:01:05.430,0:01:08.690
and that's one of the reasons that the tuition
is your view

0:01:08.690,0:01:11.780
has doubled in real dollars over the past
decade

0:01:11.780,0:01:13.330
the kids are affordable

0:01:13.330,0:01:16.470
for far too many minnesota families and there

0:01:16.470,0:01:17.509
sons and daughters

0:01:17.509,0:01:18.760
first of all

0:01:18.760,0:01:23.660
when our own work in minnesota families cannot
afford to send their own children for public

0:01:23.660,0:01:24.290
university

0:01:24.290,0:01:25.030
blind governor

0:01:25.030,0:01:27.210
a work to make to issue more affordable

0:01:27.210,0:01:29.369
for you and others falling

0:01:29.369,0:01:31.759
thank you sir

0:01:31.759,0:01:36.119
well thank you very much and I do think that
it's appropriate that we have this debate

0:01:36.119,0:01:39.820
%uh among the many that we've helped at the
university

0:01:39.820,0:01:45.050
because in so many ways this really is an
election about the future about your future

0:01:45.050,0:01:48.510
and I think the fundamental question of this
election is

0:01:48.510,0:01:50.159
do we invest

0:01:50.159,0:01:54.000
bill we speak are care a narrow partisan solutions

0:01:54.000,0:01:58.740
one of which that was just cut spending and
everything was resolved that way

0:01:58.740,0:02:00.159
the other which says

0:02:00.159,0:02:02.840
let's just tax four percent of the population

0:02:02.840,0:02:05.080
and everybody else gets a free ride

0:02:05.080,0:02:07.640
those are solutions that look in the rear-view
mirror

0:02:07.640,0:02:09.170
we need to look to the future

0:02:09.170,0:02:10.789
to your future

0:02:10.789,0:02:16.039
minnesota is a terrific state a state of great
strength great opportunities great assets

0:02:16.039,0:02:18.659
now we need leadership that map

0:02:18.659,0:02:23.489
I appreciate this opportunity and I'm looking
forward to the conversation

0:02:23.489,0:02:25.129
because work

0:02:25.129,0:02:28.010
thank you catherine thanks for doing this
thank you

0:02:28.010,0:02:29.620
mister warner

0:02:29.620,0:02:30.579
Saturday

0:02:30.579,0:02:35.219
thank all of you for showing up to the this
is %uh a hopefully going to be a great dialogue

0:02:35.219,0:02:35.879
between the

0:02:35.879,0:02:40.399
the three of us in all of you see that the
no who we are and what we're about

0:02:40.399,0:02:41.149
briefly

0:02:41.149,0:02:44.289
there's three people running for the office
of governor in the state of minnesota but

0:02:44.289,0:02:45.839
they're only to mexicans

0:02:45.839,0:02:50.089
the one hand my colleagues proposed raising
billions of dollars of taxes

0:02:50.089,0:02:55.069
to support what we believe is that unsustainable
yet again growth in government

0:02:55.069,0:02:59.309
we believe it's time to look at a different
direction we believe it's time to talk about

0:02:59.309,0:03:01.640
government living within its means having
a purchase

0:03:01.640,0:03:06.250
the services that we all expect government
to provide with the resources available

0:03:06.250,0:03:08.489
and we have certainly jobs

0:03:08.489,0:03:11.699
the case that after all who cannot pay for
anything

0:03:11.699,0:03:14.969
that %uh you expect government to provide
if you're not

0:03:14.969,0:03:17.879
a healthy number of new jobs in the private
sector

0:03:17.879,0:03:22.119
but before the discussion today and thanks
again for him

0:03:22.119,0:03:23.309
thank thank you all

0:03:23.309,0:03:24.719
the first question

0:03:24.719,0:03:26.499
it'll start your biggest winner

0:03:26.499,0:03:27.500
the next governor

0:03:27.500,0:03:32.280
we'll have the immediate responsibility of
presenting a budget that addresses the anticipated

0:03:32.280,0:03:32.630
deficit

0:03:32.630,0:03:35.929
it approaches six billion dollars over the
next two years

0:03:35.929,0:03:37.720
now these presented your plan

0:03:37.720,0:03:39.260
and many other venues

0:03:39.260,0:03:40.400
now

0:03:40.400,0:03:44.670
please identify the specific components and
your opponents proposal

0:03:44.670,0:03:46.510
he would not support as governor

0:03:46.510,0:03:48.479
and one line

0:03:48.479,0:03:54.419
and I think that the main unfair on well yeltsin
and I would not support senate to be in the

0:03:54.419,0:03:54.950
proposal

0:03:54.950,0:03:59.180
the increased the top-rated the income tax
to what would be one of the highest rates

0:03:59.180,0:04:00.239
of the the country

0:04:00.239,0:04:03.700
I think it imposes a terrible burden and job
creators

0:04:03.700,0:04:05.959
and if we tax the the job creators

0:04:05.959,0:04:07.359
we're taxing away jobs

0:04:07.359,0:04:12.060
the senate today in part frequently about
the GTE and thief river falls a great company

0:04:12.060,0:04:14.739
a company that is added hundreds of jobs

0:04:14.739,0:04:19.489
that's a company that would have its big tax
increase by thirty to forty percent

0:04:19.489,0:04:22.040
the senate could be his proposal goes through

0:04:22.040,0:04:23.419
that's unacceptable

0:04:23.419,0:04:26.089
I'm representative the cameras up proposal

0:04:26.089,0:04:30.889
I don't think that we can afford to cut at
the level that representative hammer have

0:04:30.889,0:04:33.680
proposed I think he's offering too much in

0:04:33.680,0:04:36.970
tax cuts that don't get the business tax reform

0:04:36.970,0:04:37.490
simply pad

0:04:37.490,0:04:40.540
the the bottom line we do need business tax
reform

0:04:40.540,0:04:44.749
but the first tax dollar has to be invested
in incentive businesses

0:04:44.749,0:04:46.750
and individuals to invest

0:04:46.750,0:04:48.650
not just in getting to the bottom line

0:04:48.650,0:04:52.529
I think we need a more balanced approach than
what representative member proposals

0:04:52.529,0:04:53.740
a customer

0:04:53.740,0:04:54.389
yeah

0:04:54.389,0:04:58.360
well the and I appreciate that but a maybe
we should sit down and talk about it some

0:04:58.360,0:04:59.989
more because I presented

0:04:59.989,0:05:01.419
the only balanced budget

0:05:01.419,0:05:05.729
the only budget that actually balances in
every area of my colleagues

0:05:05.729,0:05:09.809
Saturday it still is a billion dollar hole
in his he still working on it mister porter

0:05:09.809,0:05:11.939
says it's one half billion dollar hole

0:05:11.939,0:05:13.789
I mean here years were

0:05:13.789,0:05:14.800
I disagree

0:05:14.800,0:05:18.330
I disagree that we should be raising all kinds
of taxes

0:05:18.330,0:05:22.580
to grow government almost seventeen percent
in the next two years because some point we

0:05:22.580,0:05:24.870
have to get a hold of the spending of government

0:05:24.870,0:05:27.020
yes government's got to provide services

0:05:27.020,0:05:30.639
but we should be able to purchase those services
within available resources

0:05:30.639,0:05:33.120
and folks bank whenever we talk about cutting

0:05:33.120,0:05:35.509
I I think by colleagues should be

0:05:35.509,0:05:39.589
clear about the fact we're not cutting government
in fact our budget increases government spending

0:05:39.589,0:05:42.219
in explaining by seventy percent

0:05:42.219,0:05:45.310
we believe government can live with and that
means seventy eight percent

0:05:45.310,0:05:46.400
of revenue

0:05:46.400,0:05:51.749
rather the growing at unsustainable the by
seventeen percent

0:05:51.749,0:05:56.180
well I don't disagree with mister horn proposal
to expand it fails fact to

0:05:56.180,0:05:58.309
clothing and to personal services this is

0:05:58.309,0:06:00.069
their cuts in car repairs

0:06:00.069,0:06:03.090
because that's a tax that falls more heavily
on the middle class

0:06:03.090,0:06:05.489
then on upper income taxpayers

0:06:05.489,0:06:07.689
I agree with his I disagree

0:06:07.689,0:06:09.979
but represented members proposal to cut

0:06:09.979,0:06:12.300
on a prior occasion by

0:06:12.300,0:06:14.270
fourteen percent

0:06:14.270,0:06:17.110
local government a by one forward

0:06:17.110,0:06:22.340
and the minnesota department of revenue says
for every dollar that you cut in

0:06:22.340,0:06:23.649
local government aids

0:06:23.649,0:06:28.369
orange school aid from the state property
taxes go up but sixty seven cents

0:06:28.369,0:06:32.649
so that's what property taxes minnesota under
governor plenty of on for four billion dollars

0:06:32.649,0:06:34.100
to seven billion dollars

0:06:34.100,0:06:38.209
that falls most heavily on middle-income families
and on small businesses

0:06:38.209,0:06:43.399
so kind of appropriate school systems in addition
they're hurting schools and police and fire

0:06:43.399,0:06:44.870
other essential protections

0:06:44.870,0:06:48.990
these property taxes would continue to rise
for working on this since their families

0:06:48.990,0:06:49.800
the contras

0:06:49.800,0:06:53.139
a lot of fact the middle class from higher
taxes

0:06:53.139,0:06:54.379
you can express and and

0:06:54.379,0:06:59.560
%uh and the electorate that's a pretty distinct
policy positions but we know it would be difficult

0:06:59.560,0:07:01.139
for and one of your plan

0:07:01.139,0:07:05.039
I had to get through the legislature without
some compromises and certainly seen that guy

0:07:05.039,0:07:06.590
in the last by Indian

0:07:06.590,0:07:09.479
where are you willing to compromise what

0:07:09.479,0:07:13.009
parts of your opponents proposals would you
be willing to accept if I can actually all

0:07:13.009,0:07:15.729
of you to answer that question

0:07:15.729,0:07:19.149
is a follow up

0:07:19.149,0:07:20.590
part of the process and I have

0:07:20.590,0:07:24.940
the executive branch to nine different legislative
sessions is is given taken

0:07:24.940,0:07:28.619
the beach or don't want legislators with the
different points of view from line

0:07:28.619,0:07:32.189
and that's part of the process so I I wouldn't
rule anything out to begin with

0:07:32.189,0:07:36.699
well will get you but the forecasts of both
in December and then %uh the next January

0:07:36.699,0:07:37.229
February

0:07:37.229,0:07:39.800
and so this will be a moving target to begin
with

0:07:39.800,0:07:43.360
and a all work with legislators of the week
meet the constitutional requirement by the

0:07:43.360,0:07:45.949
end of the session to balancing the state
budget

0:07:45.949,0:07:47.020
I

0:07:47.020,0:07:50.129
offers I'm the only one who is provided

0:07:50.129,0:07:51.419
proposals for jobs

0:07:51.419,0:07:53.319
creation of the state involving

0:07:53.319,0:07:57.279
production the corporate franchise tax %uh
ten percent exclusion and pass through income

0:07:57.279,0:07:59.449
for small businesses

0:07:59.449,0:08:03.799
expanding the research and development tax
credit expanded the angel investment tax credit

0:08:03.799,0:08:09.409
to grow jobs that catherine actually has support
from both republicans and that democrats

0:08:09.409,0:08:11.900
but historically in the legislature

0:08:11.900,0:08:16.930
Patrick this Saturday is offered a yet tax
the rich plan that gets seven votes in the

0:08:16.930,0:08:18.959
minnesota house of representative

0:08:18.959,0:08:24.709
and mister boehner his a offered a sales tax
plan that has %uh very little any support

0:08:24.709,0:08:27.160
all right now in the legislature so for stop

0:08:27.160,0:08:31.449
I have put out a plan that would brought dropped
people from both sides in second

0:08:31.449,0:08:35.839
the only overriding message I would have to
the legislature's government must live within

0:08:35.839,0:08:37.380
the seven eight percent

0:08:37.380,0:08:40.610
of new revenue it's going to have to stand
and if there are different

0:08:40.610,0:08:46.270
the priorities that the legislature has %uh
within the line items were open to talk about

0:08:46.270,0:08:49.630
well I think and I think that really is in
a lot of ways

0:08:49.630,0:08:52.020
the critical question of this election

0:08:52.020,0:08:55.850
I think we have two candidates with all due
respect my colleagues

0:08:55.850,0:08:57.930
look what all of their investment

0:08:57.930,0:09:00.150
in very narrow solution

0:09:00.150,0:09:04.189
and it could be appealing to the very liberal
democrats only

0:09:04.189,0:09:08.190
representative ember appealing to the very
conservative republicans own

0:09:08.190,0:09:11.170
fact of the matter is when you look at my
proposals

0:09:11.170,0:09:12.310
the the share

0:09:12.310,0:09:15.489
our of the senate tax committee in the past
session

0:09:15.489,0:09:16.310
Senator boxer

0:09:16.310,0:09:19.220
a good northeastern minnesota democrat

0:09:19.220,0:09:21.310
made a proposal very similar to mine

0:09:21.310,0:09:23.030
the business to lead

0:09:23.030,0:09:25.949
business appointed governor pawlenty appointed

0:09:25.949,0:09:27.550
tax reform commission

0:09:27.550,0:09:28.900
came out and said

0:09:28.900,0:09:31.420
this is what we need to do my proposal

0:09:31.420,0:09:33.680
the the the broadening the base

0:09:33.680,0:09:36.580
because what we really need to do is reform
taxes

0:09:36.580,0:09:39.430
we put too much dependent on income tax

0:09:39.430,0:09:40.920
and so my proposal

0:09:40.920,0:09:43.600
reduce the the sales tax broaden the base

0:09:43.600,0:09:47.900
have broad bipartisan support that's the only
plan that does

0:09:47.900,0:09:49.670
thank all thanks a lot

0:09:49.670,0:09:53.520
I'm sure we'll get back to the various budget
proposals that such important part of this

0:09:53.520,0:09:56.110
campaign but it would shift the focus for
a minute on

0:09:56.110,0:10:01.070
from the Minister is immediate budget shortfall
to focus on the next decade

0:10:01.070,0:10:06.220
what do you think are the biggest challenges
facing minnesota over the next ten years in

0:10:06.220,0:10:08.600
what specifically which in jail is governor

0:10:08.600,0:10:14.509
to insure that minnesota meets these challenges
Iraq and here we are starting with representative

0:10:14.509,0:10:16.910
ever on an endpoint statement

0:10:16.910,0:10:19.360
once again it's a great question

0:10:19.360,0:10:23.780
because I I just point out that my colleague
mister or nobody is a agreed of those groups

0:10:23.780,0:10:27.570
you talked about that we should be doing billions
of dollars in tax increases

0:10:27.570,0:10:30.249
the biggest challenge for the next ten years

0:10:30.249,0:10:34.509
is to bring government state government and
in the twenty first century pay any business

0:10:34.509,0:10:37.649
it that operated the way it did thirty years
ago forty years ago

0:10:37.649,0:10:39.570
would not be in business today

0:10:39.570,0:10:43.449
private businesses are constantly adapting
to meet the challenges of the new day

0:10:43.449,0:10:47.060
our state government by comparison still works
the same way today

0:10:47.060,0:10:51.550
as it did many years ago and it's time to
start looking at the various agencies the

0:10:51.550,0:10:52.089
design

0:10:52.089,0:10:55.360
we design our state government so that it
delivers

0:10:55.360,0:10:57.000
the services people it

0:10:57.000,0:10:58.930
specter in the most efficient

0:10:58.930,0:11:02.470
affordable and more importantly stable manner
and then the job

0:11:02.470,0:11:05.750
immediately and over the next decade start
to grow old jobs again

0:11:05.750,0:11:09.209
in our private sectors to the minnesota can
once again

0:11:09.209,0:11:13.290
realize the opportunity that we have been
we have companies like honeywell IBM three

0:11:13.290,0:11:14.179
and you know back

0:11:14.179,0:11:17.810
that means stop

0:11:17.810,0:11:19.000
but of that

0:11:19.000,0:11:24.590
I we want we're going backwards so the that
one legal up

0:11:24.590,0:11:26.250
kitty thank you

0:11:26.250,0:11:29.700
mister Gore

0:11:29.700,0:11:36.700
and I did make a joke about that

0:11:39.870,0:11:41.810
how did I do

0:11:41.810,0:11:45.300
good faith linemates by Senator day the next
ten years

0:11:45.300,0:11:50.740
well I'm here is the the basement continue
our off the defense members of not believe

0:11:50.740,0:11:51.609
the that

0:11:51.609,0:11:55.610
the itself week yeah

0:11:55.610,0:12:00.210
job creation for me the key for minnesota
information on the London times six times

0:12:00.210,0:12:01.960
this decade of singing

0:12:01.960,0:12:05.529
his people willing to work work for her to
from all over the world the the challenge

0:12:05.529,0:12:08.090
is that what you and the audience in

0:12:08.090,0:12:11.670
students and young people have faced in this
a rest your lifetimes

0:12:11.670,0:12:15.080
far greater than that we face is in terms
of economic growth

0:12:15.080,0:12:16.880
the nationalistic years

0:12:16.880,0:12:19.470
and that's why education is so vitally important

0:12:19.470,0:12:23.530
now is it and why it's so unfair for us to
tell you that you're education important his

0:12:23.530,0:12:27.069
much of it is possible to show a little hope
you and of the society

0:12:27.069,0:12:27.710
Israel

0:12:27.710,0:12:29.270
when I got to pay for

0:12:29.270,0:12:31.490
and the devil report on students in the

0:12:31.490,0:12:33.430
they're invest in education

0:12:33.430,0:12:38.000
and the need to reinvest sort of early childhood
education

0:12:38.000,0:12:41.520
you can hear the appropriate smaller class
sizes

0:12:41.520,0:12:44.310
and higher education make it affordable

0:12:44.310,0:12:49.190
isn't very much the key to minnesota's future
economic and social success

0:12:49.190,0:12:50.110
thank you

0:12:50.110,0:12:52.539
so ten years and one minute let's give it
a try

0:12:52.539,0:12:57.050
you know I think that said the the he really
does highlight the fundamental difference

0:12:57.050,0:13:00.990
when you have two candidates who are we looking
in the rear-view mirror to say

0:13:00.990,0:13:04.149
let's use the same solutions that failed in
the past

0:13:04.149,0:13:07.470
let's use the same solutions that have created
the political gridlock

0:13:07.470,0:13:10.279
let's get ourselves lock into just taxing
the wealthy

0:13:10.279,0:13:11.880
we're just cutting the spending

0:13:11.880,0:13:14.720
it's going to be very hard to create ten years

0:13:14.720,0:13:15.310
forward

0:13:15.310,0:13:17.400
but a much different from kenya in the past

0:13:17.400,0:13:19.250
I think that's what we have to decide

0:13:19.250,0:13:24.220
the challenge for us is to fundamentally change
the relationship between all of us

0:13:24.220,0:13:25.710
and government

0:13:25.710,0:13:28.000
and how to reconnect we can act

0:13:28.000,0:13:29.300
all of minnesotans

0:13:29.300,0:13:31.949
that public policy that decision making

0:13:31.949,0:13:35.369
if we allow twenty percent over here twenty
percent over the air

0:13:35.369,0:13:37.410
to control the political debate

0:13:37.410,0:13:39.740
we're going to continue to have the same problem

0:13:39.740,0:13:42.120
this is an opportunity to do something different

0:13:42.120,0:13:45.009
to elect a leader who's going to engage all
missiles

0:13:45.009,0:13:46.380
in creative solutions

0:13:46.380,0:13:49.699
in figuring out a new relationship between
also and government

0:13:49.699,0:13:50.410
and a month

0:13:50.410,0:13:51.990
all of us together

0:13:51.990,0:13:55.900
that's our challenge that our opportunity

0:13:55.900,0:13:57.320
mister Mark first follow-up

0:13:57.320,0:14:02.339
with few at many minnesotans that majority
of minnesota's identified with one of the

0:14:02.339,0:14:05.639
two major parties actually look to the party's
war

0:14:05.639,0:14:09.300
solutions so could you be a little bit more
specific about to how would you specifically

0:14:09.300,0:14:11.420
would connect citizens to their government

0:14:11.420,0:14:14.360
with our highest of bringing people together

0:14:14.360,0:14:16.320
with a pre-existing credit and physician

0:14:16.320,0:14:17.230
sure and I think the

0:14:17.230,0:14:19.259
the the first answer to that is

0:14:19.259,0:14:21.500
and how's the work so far with the two parties

0:14:21.500,0:14:24.839
I mean have we move things forward every broken
through the gridlock

0:14:24.839,0:14:26.879
and so we can act I connect

0:14:26.879,0:14:30.400
because that's what I've done in my community
service career in my professional career

0:14:30.400,0:14:32.559
and I think we do it for spite

0:14:32.559,0:14:34.850
making sure that we have a terrific cabinet

0:14:34.850,0:14:38.970
mean governor of the bank for was very successful
in his first two years

0:14:38.970,0:14:42.429
did it in part because he had a great cabinet
and I think that's the first step

0:14:42.429,0:14:44.820
but the second step is that you can't

0:14:44.820,0:14:47.150
breast solutions you can't build to allusions

0:14:47.150,0:14:49.720
the only in the democratic and republican
party

0:14:49.720,0:14:51.120
we have to have a governor

0:14:51.120,0:14:53.480
who can talk over the heads of the legislature

0:14:53.480,0:14:55.089
who can engage the public

0:14:55.089,0:14:58.410
who's willing to bring the public who's going
to listen to the public

0:14:58.410,0:15:02.700
that's what I've done my whole career I think
it is the only way that we're going to move

0:15:02.700,0:15:04.200
minnesota forward

0:15:04.200,0:15:08.330
thank you for coming in and if I could follow
up in your answer can you be more specific

0:15:08.330,0:15:10.210
about the role of the state government

0:15:10.210,0:15:12.879
and advancing economic growth and job creation

0:15:12.879,0:15:15.050
have some absolutely been a hectic

0:15:15.050,0:15:19.890
the way out started after listen my colleague
is really this in catherine your questions

0:15:19.890,0:15:24.410
this election really isn't about being a republican
or a democrat turned independent it's about

0:15:24.410,0:15:25.560
common sense

0:15:25.560,0:15:31.070
but you can't just make promises that to everybody
about everything that mister morning

0:15:31.070,0:15:35.110
you've actually sit here to protect eighty
five percent of what that government says

0:15:35.110,0:15:37.240
it wants to grow the seventeen percent

0:15:37.240,0:15:40.700
you've got two and a half billion dollar hole
in your budget you can't promise everything

0:15:40.700,0:15:43.380
that is everybody and that men that deliver

0:15:43.380,0:15:45.229
what we're talking about he is

0:15:45.229,0:15:49.339
government will have about seventy percent
more that three billion almost more to spend

0:15:49.339,0:15:50.620
the next by any

0:15:50.620,0:15:54.740
you gotta make sure that lives within its
means and then we get to the tax stimulation

0:15:54.740,0:15:57.490
stuff there the %uh tax instead of things
that we talked about

0:15:57.490,0:16:00.119
the corporate franchise tax will put roughly

0:16:00.119,0:16:04.059
three hundred sixty million of the the hands
of business is to start hiring to make the

0:16:04.059,0:16:05.809
capital purchases in the next two years

0:16:05.809,0:16:08.040
the ten percent exclusion on small business

0:16:08.040,0:16:11.949
we'll give small business owners about a hundred
sixty million next two years the higher and

0:16:11.949,0:16:16.020
I can go on but it's the end done but the
idea is to start getting them the high gear

0:16:16.020,0:16:19.180
new people like the people in this room

0:16:19.180,0:16:23.730
and Senator dayton if I could ask you the
same question focused on the role of higher

0:16:23.730,0:16:26.750
education on in growing economy and that certainly
important

0:16:26.750,0:16:28.700
how about the government plan

0:16:28.700,0:16:32.070
the serb forces those commissioner of economic
development

0:16:32.070,0:16:36.750
and we provided the incentives for businesses
particularly manufacturing businesses to locate

0:16:36.750,0:16:38.590
a expand in minnesota

0:16:38.590,0:16:41.190
well that was possessed will do everything

0:16:41.190,0:16:42.570
never did save jobs

0:16:42.570,0:16:45.630
well I suppose the moving up the next January

0:16:45.630,0:16:49.200
eight billion dollar bond and built in advantage
of low interest rates

0:16:49.200,0:16:52.220
%uh one city is that there's such a bill with
the

0:16:52.220,0:16:56.970
of finances twenty eight thousand jobs in
the construction industry and the among the

0:16:56.970,0:16:59.329
building trades in minnesota where high unemployment

0:16:59.329,0:17:01.119
now the proposed a green

0:17:01.119,0:17:02.450
energy savings fund

0:17:02.450,0:17:05.020
or by what the person is sort of morals

0:17:05.020,0:17:09.140
where they've represented the buildings for
more the fishing energy use that puts people

0:17:09.140,0:17:10.709
to work and their

0:17:10.709,0:17:14.980
also a record that the heating and cooling
systems use alternative energy the lower the

0:17:14.980,0:17:17.230
cost of energy for taxpayers

0:17:17.230,0:17:18.709
and the say those dollars

0:17:18.709,0:17:21.000
well as developing alternative energy and

0:17:21.000,0:17:22.110
industry in minnesota

0:17:22.110,0:17:26.120
which is going to be the at the energy future
of our state and would get people to work

0:17:26.120,0:17:30.410
and and that is three for a decade to come

0:17:30.410,0:17:32.980
now oxycontin are third question

0:17:32.980,0:17:36.940
each of you will have one minute to respond
to start weapons from Saturday to hear

0:17:36.940,0:17:40.850
rapidly rising health care costs comprising
growing share of the budget

0:17:40.850,0:17:44.490
and also make it difficult for many in minnesota
to afford health care

0:17:44.490,0:17:46.450
what would you look do as governor

0:17:46.450,0:17:50.039
to prevent health care costs from crowding
out the rest of the budget

0:17:50.039,0:17:53.370
while still ensuring that minnesotans have
all the help that

0:17:53.370,0:17:58.350
the first thing I would do and generous personal
governors finally up Medicaid

0:17:58.350,0:18:02.690
of the two hundred eighty billion dollars
additional state spending over three years

0:18:02.690,0:18:06.820
which is already been included in the budget
for the next by name but for governor and

0:18:06.820,0:18:07.640
legislature

0:18:07.640,0:18:12.360
and that would bring in of one point four
billion dollars lines with the governor Clinton's

0:18:12.360,0:18:16.100
first taken up those in refers it's almost
a million dollars a day

0:18:16.100,0:18:17.450
terribly unfortunate

0:18:17.450,0:18:22.110
%uh and that would provide health insurance
for all who want one hundred two thousand

0:18:22.110,0:18:23.590
missiles the poorest of the poor

0:18:23.590,0:18:25.540
and also heard from earlier provide

0:18:25.540,0:18:30.290
the financial security to of minnesota hospitals
all over the state so that they can provide

0:18:30.290,0:18:33.190
a quality care they do for older persons

0:18:33.190,0:18:36.790
beyond that we need to look at this as an
entire society the cost of health insurance

0:18:36.790,0:18:38.630
in the cost of health care

0:18:38.630,0:18:41.050
even for those who has insurance as you said

0:18:41.050,0:18:45.060
he's just making both a unaffordable for increasing
numbers of muslims

0:18:45.060,0:18:49.720
and yet and also served as a result heard
from any of the fifty thousand has something

0:18:49.720,0:18:52.000
gone from private insurers the public a

0:18:52.000,0:18:58.429
the rules over the last decade of last year
in that also drive up the cost

0:18:58.429,0:19:01.159
well I think this isn't exactly exactly and
area

0:19:01.159,0:19:03.450
where we need to be innovative we need to
be able

0:19:03.450,0:19:08.140
old and yet we get the same pair dancers of
either go to a single-payer senate dayton

0:19:08.140,0:19:10.570
has %uh

0:19:10.570,0:19:11.460
to change

0:19:11.460,0:19:13.620
to a voucher system a charity care system

0:19:13.620,0:19:15.590
I don't think either of those are going to
work

0:19:15.590,0:19:20.779
we do need to build on what is working in
minnesota we ought to go to the early optimism

0:19:20.779,0:19:21.799
the suggested

0:19:21.799,0:19:23.379
but those aren't the only answer is

0:19:23.379,0:19:27.279
we need to figure out how to we drive health
care reform at the community level

0:19:27.279,0:19:28.750
I will engage people

0:19:28.750,0:19:29.919
so that example

0:19:29.919,0:19:34.379
the department of health decided that it would
help kids from low-income families who have

0:19:34.379,0:19:35.139
that amount

0:19:35.139,0:19:37.840
one of the great drivers of emergency room
news

0:19:37.840,0:19:39.090
they got involved

0:19:39.090,0:19:41.530
in fixing some of the upstream issues

0:19:41.530,0:19:43.800
helping parents deal with some of the traitors

0:19:43.800,0:19:44.610
in the end

0:19:44.610,0:19:49.200
they were able to reduce the emergency room
whose reduce health care costs an average

0:19:49.200,0:19:50.669
of two thousand dollars

0:19:50.669,0:19:53.249
per child per year but more than that

0:19:53.249,0:19:58.090
they were able to reduce will absences by
an average of seven days per year

0:19:58.090,0:20:00.360
that's the achievement gap keeping those kids
in

0:20:00.360,0:20:02.030
all keeping them healthy

0:20:02.030,0:20:03.500
reducing our health care costs

0:20:03.500,0:20:04.760
I

0:20:04.760,0:20:06.610
catherine this is much more complicated

0:20:06.610,0:20:10.090
that situation would take a minute but very
quickly some things that we could do right

0:20:10.090,0:20:11.540
away we should do want

0:20:11.540,0:20:15.340
the couple are health clinic insurance coverage
from employment

0:20:15.340,0:20:19.040
give individuals the same opportunity that
their health care insurance premiums that

0:20:19.040,0:20:21.200
we only get the employer's right now

0:20:21.200,0:20:25.570
to we need to create more pulling up ships
that not just with people at a that might

0:20:25.570,0:20:27.630
be same of similarly situated

0:20:27.630,0:20:32.100
but with greater groups of people and we've
got to give choice the folks to start working

0:20:32.100,0:20:36.129
with one of the three to four thousand professional
insurance brokers that we have in this state

0:20:36.129,0:20:38.540
the taylor coverage to meet their needs

0:20:38.540,0:20:42.880
and then third or fourth depending on whether
you thought that was to ideas and one

0:20:42.880,0:20:47.030
you got to give people the opportunity to
shop one of the thirteen hundred

0:20:47.030,0:20:49.600
approved health insurance products across
this country

0:20:49.600,0:20:53.630
you get people more ownership over their health
care you get the more of an opportunity

0:20:53.630,0:20:57.780
they will take that opportunity and it will
drive down costs but we don't

0:20:57.780,0:21:02.090
the latest returns came in the mid-nineteen
forties the surgery was very expensive

0:21:02.090,0:21:06.039
it's not a mandated coverage it's something
where people have to compete to date

0:21:06.039,0:21:09.670
you can find these surgery for about four
hundred fifty dollars

0:21:09.670,0:21:13.760
but affect popular son minnesota worked with
the federal government

0:21:13.760,0:21:14.650
%uh on

0:21:14.650,0:21:17.340
the new health care plan force in minnesota
visit that

0:21:17.340,0:21:21.880
well the I think we'll find out night after
November second what the status is at the

0:21:21.880,0:21:23.950
federal level like I don't think he ever say

0:21:23.950,0:21:27.290
but you're not going to work with the %uh
federal government that

0:21:27.290,0:21:31.770
that that that plan that just finding out
how serious it is and and what the consequences

0:21:31.770,0:21:32.220
are

0:21:32.220,0:21:36.210
I think you're going to see some major changes
to the in the meantime we got a look at these

0:21:36.210,0:21:38.090
ideas that talked about at the state level

0:21:38.090,0:21:42.680
we have the best quality health care offered
ever a in the world hearing and so there's

0:21:42.680,0:21:44.179
a reason why people

0:21:44.179,0:21:45.290
flying in minnesota

0:21:45.290,0:21:48.380
access to great mayo clinic and other providers
we have in this state

0:21:48.380,0:21:50.809
we also have access as you've heard

0:21:50.809,0:21:54.409
if people go to an emergency room they're
going to get treated but we all agree

0:21:54.409,0:21:58.059
that's not the best delivery system for health
care it's the most expensive

0:21:58.059,0:22:01.440
so the idea is doing some of these reforms
so we can actually create

0:22:01.440,0:22:05.570
some market forces to drive cost down to create
better access

0:22:05.570,0:22:10.480
%uh mister barr particular politics briefly
on the question of working with the federal

0:22:10.480,0:22:10.950
government

0:22:10.950,0:22:11.990
on health care reform

0:22:11.990,0:22:15.580
well I I do think we need to do work with
the federal government we need to figure out

0:22:15.580,0:22:16.869
how the leverage that

0:22:16.869,0:22:19.460
for lower cost higher-quality care in minnesota

0:22:19.460,0:22:22.240
and I think we've lost a number of opportunities

0:22:22.240,0:22:25.220
representative ever talks about the competitive
marketplace

0:22:25.220,0:22:25.840
don't know

0:22:25.840,0:22:28.340
just bringing in a lot more insurance companies

0:22:28.340,0:22:30.670
doesn't reduce prices

0:22:30.670,0:22:32.080
north Dakota has

0:22:32.080,0:22:32.940
on the left

0:22:32.940,0:22:34.390
per person

0:22:34.390,0:22:36.510
for member cost in the country

0:22:36.510,0:22:38.660
the dissension has one insurance company

0:22:38.660,0:22:42.460
now that's not the answer but neither is open
the floodgates to an insurance company that

0:22:42.460,0:22:47.200
wants to do business I think we do need to
look at things like the insurance exchange

0:22:47.200,0:22:51.630
that the federal government I'm has has made
available made available planning money

0:22:51.630,0:22:54.090
we're minnesota could use it's expertise

0:22:54.090,0:22:58.300
to make sure that we do have more choices
that we have competitive choices

0:22:58.300,0:23:00.120
the reality is that

0:23:00.120,0:23:01.990
I believe this is right

0:23:01.990,0:23:04.930
every state accepted the plan and money

0:23:04.930,0:23:06.380
except through

0:23:06.380,0:23:07.040
minnesota

0:23:07.040,0:23:08.890
and the left out

0:23:08.890,0:23:11.660
and I think that speaks to the politics of
the issue

0:23:11.660,0:23:15.460
we've got to get past the politics of health
reform

0:23:15.460,0:23:19.070
of course as governor you work with the federal
government that I would say the same thing

0:23:19.070,0:23:22.710
a republican President a democratic President
so of course of that

0:23:22.710,0:23:25.159
the when he was chosen play politics with

0:23:25.159,0:23:28.820
we're tearing that distribute to of personal
Obama won

0:23:28.820,0:23:32.090
Medicaid is passed when frozen Obama was four
years old

0:23:32.090,0:23:36.280
and the the governor's impress what is causing
of minnesota almost a million dollars the

0:23:36.280,0:23:39.350
about eight hundred ninety thousand dollars
the jury a day

0:23:39.350,0:23:40.210
I'm not too

0:23:40.210,0:23:42.070
except in the early afternoon Medicaid

0:23:42.070,0:23:46.910
so it'd be if we get beyond the politics then
we in state government in minnesota's mister

0:23:46.910,0:23:48.560
which has been a leader

0:23:48.560,0:23:52.230
and other states to pass it looked in and
saw where one of the best health care system

0:23:52.230,0:23:53.760
in the country say

0:23:53.760,0:23:57.210
how minnesota approach these these critical
problems and

0:23:57.210,0:24:00.259
we should restore that leadership position
among the states

0:24:00.259,0:24:04.259
you're working with the for the federal government
is a lot of this is undefined and it will

0:24:04.259,0:24:07.030
depend on how the city's take the various
initiatives

0:24:07.030,0:24:11.170
and the goal should be to provide the best
possible health care for since citizens in

0:24:11.170,0:24:12.709
the storm's Americans

0:24:12.709,0:24:15.860
and affordable cost

0:24:15.860,0:24:18.250
next question turns to transportation

0:24:18.250,0:24:20.480
transportation issue that affects Paul minnesota

0:24:20.480,0:24:25.030
the transportation fund decisions have different
consequences in different areas of the state

0:24:25.030,0:24:26.740
given the limited resources

0:24:26.740,0:24:28.840
what would you prioritize

0:24:28.840,0:24:30.940
expansion of matsumoto that

0:24:30.940,0:24:34.120
the repair and maintenance of existing roads
and infrastructure

0:24:34.120,0:24:35.070
or the building

0:24:35.070,0:24:36.220
but new routes

0:24:36.220,0:24:38.460
I'm sure we'll start with out

0:24:38.460,0:24:40.910
well I think that brings the question correctly

0:24:40.910,0:24:42.340
no I don't I don't think that it's

0:24:42.340,0:24:44.590
you keep that all of this are all of that

0:24:44.590,0:24:49.679
I think you have to said different all comes
and the outcomes we need to work against are

0:24:49.679,0:24:53.590
what creates the greatest economic opportunities
in minnesota

0:24:53.590,0:24:56.169
and they're going to be different answers
for different needs

0:24:56.169,0:24:57.990
but we have to set priorities

0:24:57.990,0:25:00.249
and then figure out how we fund those

0:25:00.249,0:25:03.239
and so the them of minnesota department of
transportation

0:25:03.239,0:25:05.700
has that in the next thirty five twenty years

0:25:05.700,0:25:10.309
we will need sixty five billion dollars to
maintain current capacity of highways and

0:25:10.309,0:25:11.000
bridges

0:25:11.000,0:25:13.480
they've identified fifteen billion dollars

0:25:13.480,0:25:15.570
now the old way of doing politics

0:25:15.570,0:25:19.750
the way that we've seen in the legislature
the way we've seen with democratic and republican

0:25:19.750,0:25:23.880
leadership of in the legislature is you take
fifteen billion dollars to buy the by two

0:25:23.880,0:25:26.380
hundred one the number of legislative districts

0:25:26.380,0:25:30.830
you do a little bit everywhere and not a lot
but not very well anywhere

0:25:30.830,0:25:32.060
that's what we can afford

0:25:32.060,0:25:34.390
and it's only I believe an independent

0:25:34.390,0:25:38.570
who can bring all of these different interest
groups together so that we can invest in France

0:25:38.570,0:25:44.120
that we can invest in a strong highway and
bridge system

0:25:44.120,0:25:45.330
our kids are

0:25:45.330,0:25:47.809
well at the you get a look at moving

0:25:47.809,0:25:49.830
people and product that's the key

0:25:49.830,0:25:52.700
I mean you've got to set your priorities you're
right

0:25:52.700,0:25:57.740
to date ninety five percent of the people
in this state travel by road and bridge

0:25:57.740,0:26:02.640
we can work our tails off over the next ten
years that in double transit ridership in

0:26:02.640,0:26:03.690
this state

0:26:03.690,0:26:07.940
but even that ninety percent of us will be
traveling by road and bridge we need to set

0:26:07.940,0:26:11.360
our priorities we need to look at every transportation
a option

0:26:11.360,0:26:14.320
and we need to find those priorities of this
they act

0:26:14.320,0:26:17.390
by the going back to last question real quick

0:26:17.390,0:26:20.809
when it comes to health care in this state
if the question what a bindle I believe in

0:26:20.809,0:26:23.289
a government-run health care system

0:26:23.289,0:26:24.130
absolutely not

0:26:24.130,0:26:25.750
and these two gentlemen do

0:26:25.750,0:26:29.710
we have a fundamental disagreement and it's
not about opening up the state of minnesota

0:26:29.710,0:26:31.400
for flood insurance companies

0:26:31.400,0:26:33.360
it's about starting to trust you

0:26:33.360,0:26:35.029
and high that people again

0:26:35.029,0:26:38.460
to make decisions about our own health care
instead of turning it over

0:26:38.460,0:26:42.479
the federal government when it and we don't
have enough money to support itself

0:26:42.479,0:26:46.350
it's also about going into a diligent since
then about forty two fingers

0:26:46.350,0:26:49.260
for on a ticket together poll that you can
understand

0:26:49.260,0:26:53.929
it's going to cost the state a half a billion
dollars to do the early Medicaid a op again

0:26:53.929,0:26:58.260
and that's not responsible and the numbers
we have right now

0:26:58.260,0:27:02.960
like many for the question of transportation
because the filibuster

0:27:02.960,0:27:04.580
forty four debates so far

0:27:04.580,0:27:08.900
and it's one of the crucial issues that affected
the future minnesota and talk about business

0:27:08.900,0:27:10.920
climate importance of that

0:27:10.920,0:27:14.460
transportation that President look if you
want

0:27:14.460,0:27:18.890
real world example what happens the government
fails to make mister investments over the

0:27:18.890,0:27:20.039
last twenty years

0:27:20.039,0:27:24.730
look at the congestion in the palm area that
you're a shiver highways greater minnesota

0:27:24.730,0:27:28.100
and was that we spent the same lot of money
in real dollars

0:27:28.100,0:27:31.910
over those twenty years we did in nineteen
ninety one to spend fifteen billion dollars

0:27:31.910,0:27:32.520
more

0:27:32.520,0:27:35.190
and and that we would be in much better shape
today

0:27:35.190,0:27:37.260
now or seriously in arrears

0:27:37.260,0:27:41.980
and and how the necessity I would put the
investment into just basic repair and maintenance

0:27:41.980,0:27:44.250
of our network of highways and

0:27:44.250,0:27:48.630
roads and bridges a and public transit to
carry that forward and interest on the part

0:27:48.630,0:27:50.050
of the November said for

0:27:50.050,0:27:54.400
but in a sort of highways are essential and
continuing the names of those going to be

0:27:54.400,0:27:54.789
crucial

0:27:54.789,0:27:57.460
we also need to be looking for ways we can

0:27:57.460,0:28:02.570
of believe the congestion in the metro area
restaurants site for economic growth and social

0:28:02.570,0:28:04.690
vitality

0:28:04.690,0:28:11.690
think you all for these responses we will
now take three right

0:28:14.000,0:28:15.000
is governor

0:28:15.000,0:28:16.679
would you support the adoption

0:28:16.679,0:28:20.830
of the measure similar to arizona's new immigration
enforcement lot

0:28:20.830,0:28:22.760
why or why not

0:28:22.760,0:28:24.419
we're starting here with representative

0:28:24.419,0:28:29.070
I think we get campaign laws in the state
of minnesota right now which is to enforce

0:28:29.070,0:28:30.270
the laws we have been

0:28:30.270,0:28:34.700
I want to ask you catherine I did say last
spring that I thought that the years on a

0:28:34.700,0:28:36.120
lot was a good start

0:28:36.120,0:28:40.950
and a lot of people didn't get the rest of
the interesting answer is because the federal

0:28:40.950,0:28:43.090
government media in this country

0:28:43.090,0:28:47.500
has jurisdiction over immigration frankly
they've completely abdicated

0:28:47.500,0:28:48.820
their responsibility

0:28:48.820,0:28:54.120
to secure our borders and make sure that we
haven't orderly inflow of it and legal immigrants

0:28:54.120,0:28:58.740
but let's face it if this country ever comes
out and sees a day when people do not want

0:28:58.740,0:28:59.669
to come here

0:28:59.669,0:29:03.500
to experience the freedom and opportunity
that the united states is post office that

0:29:03.500,0:29:04.760
we've all lost

0:29:04.760,0:29:09.610
so the idea is I think thought that that law
would get the federal government off it's

0:29:09.610,0:29:11.980
an off the dime and start working towards

0:29:11.980,0:29:12.900
it's all being

0:29:12.900,0:29:17.570
the border problem in the inflow of illegal
immigrants but so far it seems

0:29:17.570,0:29:22.080
but we're continuing to see people dragged
their feet in Washington and I think the next

0:29:22.080,0:29:25.180
governor in this state along with several
other steps to encourage the federal government

0:29:25.180,0:29:28.630
to do the job

0:29:28.630,0:29:30.590
one is a terrible horror

0:29:30.590,0:29:33.290
and the federal government has the

0:29:33.290,0:29:38.460
constitutional responsibility

0:29:38.460,0:29:41.290
her husband's his responsibility and

0:29:41.290,0:29:45.130
no I was in Washington during the time when
President Bush said had been the former governor

0:29:45.130,0:29:46.769
a former state police

0:29:46.769,0:29:49.270
there was very close before nine eleven

0:29:49.270,0:29:53.110
you're reach an agreement with the the congress
and then that was sent back in and

0:29:53.110,0:29:55.930
of in two thousand five the the into that

0:29:55.930,0:29:59.140
sixty two conditions again and the

0:29:59.140,0:30:03.669
bipartisan though Senator ted Kennedy Senator
John McCain we came together and was absolutely

0:30:03.669,0:30:04.610
no

0:30:04.610,0:30:08.960
blown apart by the right-wing ideologue soon
to say that the congress dragged its feet

0:30:08.960,0:30:11.920
amid an unknown the ideology of has been preventing

0:30:11.920,0:30:15.530
and that those emissions he wanted to take
it does the be a federal

0:30:15.530,0:30:16.059
solution

0:30:16.059,0:30:19.999
and in reference hairs on a particular you
know the the former police in chief and mean

0:30:19.999,0:30:24.360
of saint Paul and recent evening happens in
the current police chiefs and Paul bowles

0:30:24.360,0:30:25.610
said

0:30:25.610,0:30:30.700
public safety affected reading the policing
the seriously destructive by the reports there's

0:30:30.700,0:30:32.970
no was taken

0:30:32.970,0:30:34.310
thank you stuart

0:30:34.310,0:30:35.820
I don't think it's a good law

0:30:35.820,0:30:38.190
I never thought that I was going to be an
answer

0:30:38.190,0:30:41.419
and I think it's exactly the kind of of of
issue

0:30:41.419,0:30:46.500
the traditional politicians used to drive
wedges instead of bringing people together

0:30:46.500,0:30:47.990
all one needs to do

0:30:47.990,0:30:48.780
he's walked out

0:30:48.780,0:30:49.900
only street

0:30:49.900,0:30:53.440
walked on university avenue walked on been
an arcade

0:30:53.440,0:30:56.190
and see what new minnesotans have brought
to this speech

0:30:56.190,0:30:58.340
in terms of their entrepreneurial it's a

0:30:58.340,0:30:59.590
their vitality

0:30:59.590,0:31:02.020
how they're investing in those communities

0:31:02.020,0:31:06.450
should everybody be here illegally of course
and and we certainly need to help secure borders

0:31:06.450,0:31:08.099
we certainly need to make sure

0:31:08.099,0:31:11.590
the were working with employers to make sure
that they're hiring

0:31:11.590,0:31:13.830
people were are documented

0:31:13.830,0:31:18.220
well we don't need to be a state that says
were going to divide some from others

0:31:18.220,0:31:20.169
we need to welcome them in a cell

0:31:20.169,0:31:22.169
and I think that goes a step further

0:31:22.169,0:31:24.989
we need a governor who's willing to speak
to that issue

0:31:24.989,0:31:27.700
we need a governor who's willing to stand
up and say

0:31:27.700,0:31:32.790
but the minnesota chamber of commerce is right
we don't need english only language classes

0:31:32.790,0:31:39.150
or of restrictions we need classes that help
people become Americans

0:31:39.150,0:31:43.800
think it's important to remember just to be
clear about if the minnesota legislature presented

0:31:43.800,0:31:45.179
you with this law

0:31:45.179,0:31:46.490
would you sign it is that

0:31:46.490,0:31:49.050
I don't think you can see that more importantly

0:31:49.050,0:31:53.889
by getting back to whether what mister vargas
said I couldn't disagree more

0:31:53.889,0:31:58.869
I absolutely do believe and I think we've
just had the same thing that for some reason

0:31:58.869,0:32:02.889
you know I don't know why people on what tactics
state like Arizona in judge what they're doing

0:32:02.889,0:32:04.970
down there where they've got a serious problem

0:32:04.970,0:32:11.010
with that illegal immigration and people leading
and having that series public safety problem

0:32:11.010,0:32:15.269
does a lot more it make you sad that governor
they're trying to honor their commitments

0:32:15.269,0:32:19.559
their constitutional obligation for the public
safety of people in Arizona but that's the

0:32:19.559,0:32:20.190
result

0:32:20.190,0:32:22.790
in minnesota I think we all just said the
same thing

0:32:22.790,0:32:27.100
you've got this celebrate the ideal that people
are going to keep coming to the state of minnesota

0:32:27.100,0:32:29.470
to enjoy the freedom and opportunity we have

0:32:29.470,0:32:33.710
but mister porter to suggest that we should
have all kinds of different languages we want

0:32:33.710,0:32:34.149
people

0:32:34.149,0:32:36.940
to celebrate their culture their tradition
and history

0:32:36.940,0:32:40.669
we want them to maintain that but we also
want them to assimilate into

0:32:40.669,0:32:44.690
the state of minnesota become productive members
of our community and I think

0:32:44.690,0:32:47.639
and we should be our language

0:32:47.639,0:32:49.450
and represented of them are

0:32:49.450,0:32:52.710
well if we're going to start to to do after
all lines

0:32:52.710,0:32:55.230
then let's go back and look at your your real
cold

0:32:55.230,0:32:57.580
because what he did say and was repeated

0:32:57.580,0:32:58.770
is that not

0:32:58.770,0:33:02.130
just that that law was a good first step for
Arizona

0:33:02.130,0:33:04.009
but you shed can you repeat it

0:33:04.009,0:33:06.470
that you wanted that law from minnesota

0:33:06.470,0:33:07.929
and that was the fact that

0:33:07.929,0:33:09.270
and we can look it up

0:33:09.270,0:33:13.179
and we'll see if the full quote in contact
bring that lot of minnesota

0:33:13.179,0:33:15.360
a fundamentally disagree with that

0:33:15.360,0:33:18.230
well I think that we ought to have everybody
speaking english

0:33:18.230,0:33:19.550
of course

0:33:19.550,0:33:25.130
but you don't get their by seven lost that
they were going to excludes you from society

0:33:25.130,0:33:26.899
if you're unable to speak english

0:33:26.899,0:33:31.980
you get there by saying were going to make
the investment in bringing you into society

0:33:31.980,0:33:35.190
in making english language classes available
to people

0:33:35.190,0:33:36.630
in doing the right thing

0:33:36.630,0:33:40.719
in being of society that doesn't just talk
about equality

0:33:40.719,0:33:47.490
but pulls out and works for and that's the
role of the government

0:33:47.490,0:33:51.370
okay

0:33:51.370,0:33:55.380
always looking for new York city I thought
of that was what was second language of that

0:33:55.380,0:33:56.179
than we have

0:33:56.179,0:34:01.179
for governmental languages his coolness over
another poll ninety five languages and dialects

0:34:01.179,0:34:02.140
into our state

0:34:02.140,0:34:02.910
so yes I would agree

0:34:02.910,0:34:05.110
we want to give everyone the opportunity

0:34:05.110,0:34:09.559
to learn english it because the dolby morse
successful those facts are

0:34:09.559,0:34:12.750
the socio-economic lead by by doing so on
as

0:34:12.750,0:34:15.970
why we need better education system one that
welcomes the

0:34:15.970,0:34:20.190
people from all over the country all over
the world to to minnesota and gives them the

0:34:20.190,0:34:23.269
opportunity with small classes and individual
attention

0:34:23.269,0:34:27.449
you're gay men agreed in the skills that they
need and it's worth of or the wilson international

0:34:27.449,0:34:28.820
school on she'll

0:34:28.820,0:34:31.360
so proud of that school teacher in their name

0:34:31.360,0:34:32.389
where are you

0:34:32.389,0:34:36.619
kids who came to know sort of with never had
any formal education is teenagers

0:34:36.619,0:34:40.460
are graduating nineteen twenty twenty one
twenty two years old

0:34:40.460,0:34:45.330
having had the opportunity that every child
of minnesota young adults that minnesota

0:34:45.330,0:34:48.189
realizes the ripples potential

0:34:48.189,0:34:52.029
I moving on to the next question fact your
news Saturday

0:34:52.029,0:34:56.630
the quality of higher education affects minnesota's
workforce economy

0:34:56.630,0:34:58.289
industry and cultural life

0:34:58.289,0:35:00.399
it's a tough partisan declining

0:35:00.399,0:35:04.660
last week university of ministers the university
of minnesota officials

0:35:04.660,0:35:07.609
unveiled a budget proposal requesting one
point three billion

0:35:07.609,0:35:09.939
in state funding over the next five years

0:35:09.939,0:35:13.319
it was important in the minnesota daily university
President

0:35:13.319,0:35:15.059
Bob ricks said

0:35:15.059,0:35:18.069
if we continue this have at this investment

0:35:18.069,0:35:19.839
it'll be close to impossible

0:35:19.839,0:35:21.039
to rebuild

0:35:21.039,0:35:22.479
the cost of rebuilding

0:35:22.479,0:35:27.559
the cost of catching up if we make a wrong
call right now will be extraordinarily high

0:35:27.559,0:35:28.809
for the university

0:35:28.809,0:35:30.459
in for the minnesota

0:35:30.459,0:35:31.010
governor

0:35:31.010,0:35:36.479
what would you do to ensure a quality public
higher education went forward

0:35:36.479,0:35:38.390
the personal great actor

0:35:38.390,0:35:42.079
very first question next governor and legislature
want her to five point eight billion dollar

0:35:42.079,0:35:43.289
debt

0:35:43.289,0:35:47.400
before even had initially personally a university
sort of however

0:35:47.400,0:35:49.810
well it is and I was twenty one of my goal

0:35:49.810,0:35:51.690
also have to balance that budget

0:35:51.690,0:35:54.719
and also a recognize that as we go forward

0:35:54.719,0:35:58.169
that state fails to make these investments
the results partnership

0:35:58.169,0:36:01.570
and that's the reason that %uh commissioner
your public colleges

0:36:01.570,0:36:03.199
third highest nation

0:36:03.199,0:36:06.649
Christian group university of minnesota's
fifty percent higher than the average of the

0:36:06.649,0:36:08.959
state universities and thrown in four states

0:36:08.959,0:36:11.989
when they retire the next highest the university
of Wisconsin

0:36:11.989,0:36:14.069
so we need to recognize this is %uh

0:36:14.069,0:36:15.100
President nixon

0:36:15.100,0:36:18.530
they're without the the state of minnesota
making these investments equality is going

0:36:18.530,0:36:22.019
to suffer of affordability is going to become
more is to worse

0:36:22.019,0:36:25.950
in sake of state university of of minnesota
think you don't

0:36:25.950,0:36:29.999
have of cut fourteen and seventeen percent
of the faculty respectively

0:36:29.999,0:36:32.529
for this coming year it's just devastating

0:36:32.529,0:36:36.099
of the quality of education that could be
offered as for if you're over students who

0:36:36.099,0:36:39.900
need those opportunities

0:36:39.900,0:36:43.239
well I I think again this is another question
of leadership

0:36:43.239,0:36:47.279
this is another question of how do we get
their because I think we all would agree that

0:36:47.279,0:36:50.509
higher education has to be a priority for
minnesota

0:36:50.509,0:36:55.249
the challenges in the context of the shortfall
that is twenty percent of the state's operating

0:36:55.249,0:36:56.599
budget how do we get there

0:36:56.599,0:36:58.780
as of next year look at the opportunities

0:36:58.780,0:37:00.660
a new President of the university

0:37:00.660,0:37:04.220
a new chancellor minnesota state colleges
and universities

0:37:04.220,0:37:05.519
in a new governor

0:37:05.519,0:37:07.890
we need to use that as an opportunity

0:37:07.890,0:37:09.630
you have a conversation

0:37:09.630,0:37:14.009
around priority what's the outcome we need
to be willing to put everything on the table

0:37:14.009,0:37:15.719
we need a realignment of systems

0:37:15.719,0:37:19.580
how do we protect our great to your community
in vocational schools

0:37:19.580,0:37:23.360
how do we make sure that our for your schools
are doing what we need of them

0:37:23.360,0:37:24.760
is it the right way

0:37:24.760,0:37:28.810
they have are for your schools offering three
hundred four hundred five hundred different

0:37:28.810,0:37:29.250
majors

0:37:29.250,0:37:31.030
what should we go to some of accidents

0:37:31.030,0:37:34.730
and how do we truly make a world-class research
university

0:37:34.730,0:37:36.690
on this campus rapes here

0:37:36.690,0:37:37.730
accept the outcome

0:37:37.730,0:37:40.070
have a leader who's going to have the conversation

0:37:40.070,0:37:41.970
and put everything on the table

0:37:41.970,0:37:45.489
then we can decide where we and how we found
it

0:37:45.489,0:37:46.499
I

0:37:46.499,0:37:50.489
well it's time to get past the conversation
time to be responsible

0:37:50.489,0:37:51.949
night let's face it

0:37:51.949,0:37:52.910
you can't

0:37:52.910,0:37:56.600
find anything if you don't have the money
to fund the right now

0:37:56.600,0:37:58.280
we look at high risk

0:37:58.280,0:38:00.960
Baghdad absolutely is important the future
of our state

0:38:00.960,0:38:05.499
we're the best work force in the country it's
the and the perhaps of the world

0:38:05.499,0:38:10.079
and we need to make sure that we continue
to do that but you gotta bring be at the university

0:38:10.079,0:38:12.009
system in a twenty percent response

0:38:12.009,0:38:14.449
one way to the top heavy an administration

0:38:14.449,0:38:17.340
and I fear that President critics as a wonderful
guy

0:38:17.340,0:38:21.860
talk about how if we don't get all the money
we're talking were asking forward after raised

0:38:21.860,0:38:22.670
tuition again

0:38:22.670,0:38:26.559
well perhaps we should look at some of the
administration perhaps we should look

0:38:26.559,0:38:30.500
and how we make this more affordable because
inflation at college campuses

0:38:30.500,0:38:35.439
is running way beyond what it's going everywhere
else in again ready to talk about honesty

0:38:35.439,0:38:39.019
you can't make promises to everybody about
every that

0:38:39.019,0:38:42.189
you've got to talk to people about what it
is you're going to cut when you have a two

0:38:42.189,0:38:44.220
and a half billion dollar hole in your budget

0:38:44.220,0:38:46.170
the other billion dollar hole in your budget

0:38:46.170,0:38:53.170
we've got to start being responsible so we
can find their priorities going in the future

0:38:57.039,0:39:01.509
johanna higher education but now for a different
question about higher education and here we

0:39:01.509,0:39:03.599
start with up corner

0:39:03.599,0:39:08.749
if you were asked to give series of lectures
and undergraduate class here at the university

0:39:08.749,0:39:09.900
of minnesota

0:39:09.900,0:39:11.510
but subject which is used

0:39:11.510,0:39:13.560
what particular insight with a break

0:39:13.560,0:39:17.089
and what viewpoints other than your own which
include

0:39:17.089,0:39:18.160
well it's of

0:39:18.160,0:39:22.400
and speak to the issue of leadership because
again I think that's going to be the critical

0:39:22.400,0:39:22.940
issue

0:39:22.940,0:39:25.840
and so the the insights that I would bring

0:39:25.840,0:39:27.930
are the insights of those people

0:39:27.930,0:39:29.930
love and great leaders in minnesota

0:39:29.930,0:39:34.120
what that arne carlson a governor up a former
governor whose endorsement I've very proud

0:39:34.120,0:39:35.969
to have

0:39:35.969,0:39:38.680
carlson walk into the situation

0:39:38.680,0:39:40.699
where he had a huge deficit

0:39:40.699,0:39:41.500
he fixed it

0:39:41.500,0:39:44.019
he fixed it honestly and transparently

0:39:44.019,0:39:46.880
but then he turned around and he said now
we need reform

0:39:46.880,0:39:50.089
now we need to invest now we need to build
for the future

0:39:50.089,0:39:53.489
they brought together a bipartisan group of
legislators

0:39:53.489,0:39:55.499
and working on health care reform

0:39:55.499,0:39:56.910
and did it for free program

0:39:56.910,0:39:58.370
and it took them to eat right

0:39:58.370,0:39:59.639
we stuck with that

0:39:59.639,0:40:01.779
the same thing on workers' comp

0:40:01.779,0:40:03.260
governor carlson said

0:40:03.260,0:40:08.049
most exporters compensation because it is
discouraging job creation in minnesota

0:40:08.049,0:40:11.149
he brought together a bipartisan group of
legislators

0:40:11.149,0:40:13.329
unions workers business people

0:40:13.329,0:40:14.690
and they got a solution

0:40:14.690,0:40:15.539
that's leadership

0:40:15.539,0:40:18.319
if you're not tied to the old solutions of
the past

0:40:18.319,0:40:21.619
you can move to the future

0:40:21.619,0:40:22.729
are

0:40:22.729,0:40:25.439
well i'd give a lecture comments and said

0:40:25.439,0:40:28.369
I hope to be more of a %uh dialogue

0:40:28.369,0:40:31.959
common sense says that she can't keep spending
more than half

0:40:31.959,0:40:34.789
common sense says that you can't just keep

0:40:34.789,0:40:38.559
spending what you want to spend it as opposed
to what you need is that

0:40:38.559,0:40:43.169
i'd want to have a dialogue about the fact
that we can't continue to grow old government

0:40:43.169,0:40:43.959
beyond its means

0:40:43.959,0:40:47.900
and we've got to get back to our our roots
that the freedom that this country's post

0:40:47.900,0:40:48.400
office

0:40:48.400,0:40:49.930
this country was not

0:40:49.930,0:40:51.219
built by government

0:40:51.219,0:40:54.750
it was built by people people who have the
freedom more freedom

0:40:54.750,0:40:57.650
that any other people's ever known in the
face of the planet

0:40:57.650,0:41:00.590
that giving people the freedom and the opportunity

0:41:00.590,0:41:04.750
to realize their greatest reads and meet their
full potential that's the discussion about

0:41:04.750,0:41:06.389
like that

0:41:06.389,0:41:07.000
Saturday

0:41:07.000,0:41:10.910
the group remember I would not give a lecture
on one of the dialogue

0:41:10.910,0:41:12.539
and it would be about girls

0:41:12.539,0:41:16.909
and share of were my heroes of such as Robert
Kennedy

0:41:16.909,0:41:21.459
winston churchill franklin roosevelt abraham
lincoln betty jo overnight third fourth grade

0:41:21.459,0:41:23.499
teacher so crucial in line

0:41:23.499,0:41:25.949
making the transition from one school to another

0:41:25.949,0:41:28.619
and i'd ask the students in who worry agree

0:41:28.619,0:41:29.900
your heroes

0:41:29.900,0:41:32.439
and and what are the qualities of leadership

0:41:32.439,0:41:37.129
he said mister warren also his inspiration
and just the challenges that they overcame

0:41:37.129,0:41:41.529
their lives to to debate the contributions
they did to the betterment of our society

0:41:41.529,0:41:45.799
and then what kind is rations now from Los
angeles

0:41:45.799,0:41:49.059
thanks a lot

0:41:49.059,0:41:50.549
sitting here

0:41:50.549,0:41:54.109
question number eight for starting here with
Barack Obama

0:41:54.109,0:41:57.719
learning from the successes and failures of
one's predecessor is important

0:41:57.719,0:42:01.049
in minnesota need to know how much change
in continuity

0:42:01.049,0:42:03.750
to expect in the governor's office as governor

0:42:03.750,0:42:07.290
in what ways with annually governor ten twenties

0:42:07.290,0:42:09.670
policy positions in the leadership style

0:42:09.670,0:42:14.380
and in what ways that you depart from his
policy positions in leadership style

0:42:14.380,0:42:17.420
well I appreciate the question but I think
we should go back far that

0:42:17.420,0:42:21.839
I think that what i'd like to do is look back
at how we got here

0:42:21.839,0:42:23.549
is it's one thing to look back

0:42:23.549,0:42:28.010
%uh it and try to assess blame which other
people seem to want to do on a regular basis

0:42:28.010,0:42:31.650
this is a their faltering his or her fault
this to how we got here

0:42:31.650,0:42:35.450
we're going to start looking forward in the
the only reason we should look backward it

0:42:35.450,0:42:36.969
is to see how we got here

0:42:36.969,0:42:41.119
and how did we get here since the late sixties
early seventies we've had a

0:42:41.119,0:42:43.739
model of governance in this state where

0:42:43.739,0:42:47.010
republicans democrats alike agree the people
who call themselves other

0:42:47.010,0:42:52.500
have always had this idea that the government
runs all of money it looks immediately the

0:42:52.500,0:42:53.940
hard-working men and women in this state

0:42:53.940,0:42:56.730
the business of the state house and just to
pay some more

0:42:56.730,0:42:58.909
so government continues to grow

0:42:58.909,0:42:59.400
that's not the

0:42:59.400,0:43:03.779
the answer for the future government in this
state is simply grown to be large degree

0:43:03.779,0:43:06.039
it is suffocating our product happened

0:43:06.039,0:43:10.270
you gotta get that balance back in the leadership
the style that I would offer

0:43:10.270,0:43:15.230
is it about all of us it's not just some of
us we've got to get minnesota back on track

0:43:15.230,0:43:18.859
and we all have to work together to do

0:43:18.859,0:43:21.400
Saturday governor want policy on

0:43:21.400,0:43:26.200
well I didn't appreciate that of emulated
the governor but his support for the minnesota

0:43:26.200,0:43:28.169
department of veterans affairs it

0:43:28.169,0:43:32.259
that respect is the commitment to our troops
serving as he's been to

0:43:32.259,0:43:36.099
Barack had with Afghanistan and so I went
and I was under three times to rock wants

0:43:36.099,0:43:37.699
to Afghanistan

0:43:37.699,0:43:40.569
and we voted together the hard part for of
it

0:43:40.569,0:43:42.890
of which is to go to

0:43:42.890,0:43:45.709
Mike is most of the kids get virtually all

0:43:45.709,0:43:48.159
of the weeks and funerals of the

0:43:48.159,0:43:52.769
heroes who the died in service to the country
in those countries and the briefly and often

0:43:52.769,0:43:53.310
did

0:43:53.310,0:43:54.549
in the %uh

0:43:54.549,0:43:58.569
opinion to fly the national guard helicopter
to get their of active expeditiously and you

0:43:58.569,0:44:02.359
know that's hard to do and I respect its commitments
livingstone as well

0:44:02.359,0:44:06.140
well history the governor plays shifted the
part of the tax burden

0:44:06.140,0:44:10.900
the property tax property taxes are going
up four billion dollars to seven billion dollars

0:44:10.900,0:44:16.090
the during his two terms as a tax that falls
on fairly and middle income taxpayers

0:44:16.090,0:44:17.489
and on small business

0:44:17.489,0:44:21.429
so I would I would never stand but the effects
responsibility more on

0:44:21.429,0:44:26.119
of return in the income tax and back to the
applause

0:44:26.119,0:44:30.699
you know I think couple of things that governor
want the has has done well is that

0:44:30.699,0:44:35.139
in his first administration I think he was
much more responsible in dealing honestly

0:44:35.139,0:44:37.239
and forthrightly with the budget

0:44:37.239,0:44:38.869
including some tax increases

0:44:38.869,0:44:40.419
to balance the budget

0:44:40.419,0:44:41.660
focus on spending cuts

0:44:41.660,0:44:43.240
but do the the the right thing

0:44:43.240,0:44:47.690
I think governor Clinton has done a pretty
good job in setting a foundation for health

0:44:47.690,0:44:48.620
reform

0:44:48.620,0:44:51.209
particularly for his investments in in prevention

0:44:51.209,0:44:54.069
well let me tell you a couple of things that
I do disagree with

0:44:54.069,0:44:56.470
and there are about style and they are about
leadership

0:44:56.470,0:44:59.449
and they do reflect that the candidates up
here

0:44:59.449,0:45:01.479
one is that

0:45:01.479,0:45:06.219
we have a six billion dollar deficit to deal
with next year

0:45:06.219,0:45:07.800
because representative them are

0:45:07.800,0:45:09.209
governor plenty

0:45:09.209,0:45:10.490
democrats republicans

0:45:10.490,0:45:14.400
weren't willing to deal with the three billion
dollar shortfall

0:45:14.400,0:45:15.660
we can't afford that

0:45:15.660,0:45:17.819
and so my promise to you is that

0:45:17.819,0:45:19.459
at the end of four years

0:45:19.459,0:45:22.189
all handover a truly balanced budget

0:45:22.189,0:45:26.809
but I think secondly and governor want the
with his ambitions for higher office I think

0:45:26.809,0:45:29.209
senate debate and frankly it does reflect
your career

0:45:29.209,0:45:34.219
of always trying to move on to the next office
giving up on what you've done before the jobless

0:45:34.219,0:45:34.739
over

0:45:34.739,0:45:39.479
we can't afford that we've seen the consequences
in minnesota

0:45:39.479,0:45:40.829
yeah

0:45:40.829,0:45:43.949
only represent we're running short of time
here but only representative at work you could

0:45:43.949,0:45:47.869
follow up for about thirty seconds and tell
us is there anything about governor Clinton's

0:45:47.869,0:45:51.589
policy positions in particular well here's
the thing it means we have that's in every

0:45:51.589,0:45:55.319
day talking about how this is direct relationship
to property taxes

0:45:55.319,0:45:59.589
is it somehow the budget was cut over the
last eight years and mister porter suggesting

0:45:59.589,0:46:02.749
the same thing and it's terrible because it's
pushing that

0:46:02.749,0:46:04.890
at least and gentlemen that fact

0:46:04.890,0:46:08.119
at the end of this by and from two thousand
one to the other twenty eleven

0:46:08.119,0:46:12.009
the end of this by any in state government
general fund spending on the ground grown

0:46:12.009,0:46:14.490
by almost six point five billion dollars

0:46:14.490,0:46:18.990
it hasn't gone back on under governor pawlenty
it's gone up by almost six point five billion

0:46:18.990,0:46:22.249
so this argument about property taxes is not
right in

0:46:22.249,0:46:24.569
hi will just leave it at that

0:46:24.569,0:46:28.859
by is our final question for our television
and radio audience

0:46:28.859,0:46:32.539
because the time limits for visiting forty
five seconds each I apologize what are your

0:46:32.539,0:46:34.470
top goals your first term

0:46:34.470,0:46:37.459
if like governors Clinton carlson you have
a second term

0:46:37.459,0:46:42.930
what would you like to the congress by the
end of that term there will be no follow-up

0:46:42.930,0:46:45.509
and out

0:46:45.509,0:46:47.759
today concerning the first

0:46:47.759,0:46:51.669
liberal their sleeves and go to work with
his own back to work all over the state although

0:46:51.669,0:46:52.959
the were

0:46:52.959,0:46:56.859
the international world with job gain from
minnesota

0:46:56.859,0:47:00.160
and big the government collective partner
with the

0:47:00.160,0:47:04.339
this is a struggle is over with marathon chambers
local development corporations

0:47:04.339,0:47:06.859
the democrats measure of economic development

0:47:06.859,0:47:08.900
and then I would have is that dollars in income

0:47:08.900,0:47:11.630
and with the improved economy and those of
resources

0:47:11.630,0:47:14.510
it will make up my party commitment to education

0:47:14.510,0:47:16.459
starting with early childhood education

0:47:16.459,0:47:17.809
more class sizes

0:47:17.809,0:47:19.949
a full day kindergarten

0:47:19.949,0:47:24.980
of higher education is more affordable restore
the consummate in fact Indian options the

0:47:24.980,0:47:27.350
if there's some sort of an instant system

0:47:27.350,0:47:28.610
and so I think you're right

0:47:28.610,0:47:30.380
just more of the same time with more

0:47:30.380,0:47:33.300
that would help put more people back to work
from minnesota

0:47:33.300,0:47:36.680
and for this or minnesota was as the premier
state in the nation

0:47:36.680,0:47:38.160
thank you Senator

0:47:38.160,0:47:39.529
well first and foremost

0:47:39.529,0:47:42.600
we have to balance the budget we have to do
it honestly fairly

0:47:42.600,0:47:46.999
we have to do it in a way that still allows
for investment and minnesota's future

0:47:46.999,0:47:51.999
secondly I do think that we need to have a
conversation around help about education

0:47:51.999,0:47:56.339
so that we can start to make changes we need
to let teachers teach we need to remove some

0:47:56.339,0:48:00.019
of the rigidity of schools we need to to look
at education

0:48:00.019,0:48:02.909
as a seamless lifelong opportunity

0:48:02.909,0:48:05.910
and that is going to include early education

0:48:05.910,0:48:08.889
reforming K-TWELVE looking at higher education

0:48:08.889,0:48:09.589
long term

0:48:09.589,0:48:12.240
we do have to have two reform health care

0:48:12.240,0:48:16.160
we've got to get control of the cost that's
going to include older adult services

0:48:16.160,0:48:19.400
as well as the the the current health care
system

0:48:19.400,0:48:20.930
and make it work for everybody

0:48:20.930,0:48:24.559
I started to deal with that as a community
and level issue

0:48:24.559,0:48:25.540
and in the end

0:48:25.540,0:48:30.610
we need to be a state that is open for everybody
that create opportunity and jobs for all the

0:48:30.610,0:48:33.320
so and are well

0:48:33.320,0:48:36.729
but I propose to do is exactly what I'm the
only one who's put out

0:48:36.729,0:48:38.069
a balanced budget

0:48:38.069,0:48:42.239
a budget that is not smaller than it is right
now it's seven eight percent greater uses

0:48:42.239,0:48:43.590
it so does suggest

0:48:43.590,0:48:45.559
it's a cop it's not

0:48:45.559,0:48:49.580
government is going to grow in the next tightening
were in the office by seven eight percent

0:48:49.580,0:48:53.610
and we will redesign the actual structure
of government to get rid of the pulpit duplication

0:48:53.610,0:48:54.540
the access

0:48:54.540,0:48:58.280
so that we can start to deliver services that
people expect efficient manner

0:48:58.280,0:49:01.890
and the first and foremost the thing that
you don't hear from my colleagues that we

0:49:01.890,0:49:02.610
must do

0:49:02.610,0:49:04.869
he's the next governor the next legislature

0:49:04.869,0:49:07.010
must get government out of the way and create

0:49:07.010,0:49:10.449
you want to have used to grow jobs in this
case

0:49:10.449,0:49:14.309
because if we don't start growing jobs again
in our private economy it won't matter

0:49:14.309,0:49:15.560
we won't have

0:49:15.560,0:49:18.849
the revenue to pay for the services people
expected to govern

0:49:18.849,0:49:21.449
that should be the job of the next day

0:49:21.449,0:49:25.789
this concludes the first segment of the debate
part television and radio audience please

0:49:25.789,0:49:27.139
join me and thank you for Canada
