Monday night, it wasn't exactly a debate, but Snyder and Bernero did go head-to-head during separate, but live appearances on WDIV-TV, Channel 4.

On the question of bringing jobs to Michigan, Lansing Mayor Bernero said he's not shoving manufacturing to the back burner.

"Advance manufacturing was key to our past, but it will also be key to our future. It's 20 percent of the state revenue. It comes from manufacturing. I'm not saying it's everything, certainly we diversify, but I'm not ready to wave the white flag on manufacturing," Bernero said.

Rick Snyder, meanwhile, said you create jobs by making the state business friendly.

"If you go down to Indiana and you ask the people in Indiana what's the largest source of business for the state of Indiana, they'll tell you the state of Michigan. And if you look between the two states, what are some of the largest distinguishing factors, one is the business tax climate and the second one is the regulatory climate," Snyder said.
