What Are the GOP Candidates for Governor Saying about the Met Council?

At last night's debate in Plymouth contenders for the GOP endorsement for Governor found a point of differentiation: how they view the Met Council.

When responding to Marty Seifert's goal of cutting the deficit Tom Emmer said, "If you take a look at where we differ right away.

You talk about redesigning a smaller Met Council. The Met Council needs to go away. We need to be more bold."
