Audio excerpts from Midday program with Minneapolis mayoral candidates.
MPR’s Gary Eichten hosted Minneapolis Mayor Sharon Sayles Belton and challenger R.T. Rybak, who sparred over issues of affordable housing, reducing crime, and the loss of the city's triple A bond rating. Eichten asked whether they considered themselves to be "liberal" Democrats. Sayles Belton immediately said, yes, while Rybak balked at applying any political label.
