Entenza is planning ahead

Minnesota voters won't select the next governor until November, but DFL candidate Matt Entenza says he's already preparing a transition team.

During a candidate forum today in Minneapolis, Entenza said he would soon announce the members of that team. He said Ramsey County Attorney Susan Gaertner, who announced her support of Entenza yesterday, will lead the transition effort when he's elected governor.

"We need to get to work quick," Entenza said.

Entenza is running in a competitive DFL primary on Aug. 10, against Margaret Anderson Kelliher and Mark Dayton.
