1/21 At Issue: Remembering Sarah Janecek; Dayton Proposes Bonding Bill

Last week, a beloved contributor to our "At Issue" political panels for the last 18 years passed away. Sarah Janecek left us way too soon. She was a key contributor since the team first went on air in 2000. She was carefree and enjoyed life to the fullest.

Gov. Mark Dayton's last bonding bill is a blockbuster that he says would create thousands of jobs. Republicans see it as more of a budget-buster.Dayton is pitching the $1.5 billion package of construction projects around the state. About one-third of that would go to the University of Minnesota and other state colleges.

The Dayton Administration says the Public Works proposal will create nearly 23,000 jobs.

About $ 542 million is proposed for projects at the U of M and Minnesota state colleges.
