Statement from Gragert Research

This is the statement from Dennis A. Gragert. Entenza said earlier that Gragert would be available for interviews. Gragert's office now says he won't be able to comment until Friday. We're encoding the audio of the two Entenza teleconferences and should have them on the website later.

Here's the Gragert statement:

"Last year, Matt Entenza asked my firm to assemble the public documents of the Minnesota Attorney General's Office. In the course of our work, we collected a larger scope of public documents that Mr. Entenza requested. We engaged our standard research model, gathering all public documents about the Attorney General. We only delivered to him the public records provided by the Office of the Minnesota Attorney General in compliance with his clarified request.

I apologize to Representative Entenza for the confusion resulting from our work."
