This month's guests are: Gov. Jesse Ventura, House Speaker Steve Sviggum, Senate Majority Leader Roger Moe, and Children, Families and Learning Commissioner Christine Jax. The topic is: K-12 education issues and priorities in the governor's budget. We expect a great deal of discussion about the Profile of Learning, funding for public schools, class sizes, etc. The hosts are: MPR's Political correspondent Martin Kaste, and Lou Harvin, co-host of KTCA's Newsnight Minnesota. The Minnesota Citizens' Forum, sponsored by Minnesota Public Radio, the Star-Tribune of Minneapolis and KTCA-TV, provides a vehicle for people to engage in a discussion of public issues. Through these forums, reporters and editors were able to focus candidates during 1998 on issues that are most important to our listeners, viewers, and readers. With the Ventura administration underway, the Minnesota Citizens Forum will allow elected officials to stay in touch with the opinions of the voters. To comment on the topic and MPR's coverage of Citizen Forum issues, send email to mail@mpr.org or call MPR member-listener services: 651-290-1212 or 800-228-7123. If you email us, put "Forum" in the subject line of your email and tell us in the body of your email if we may post your comment on the Web site.
