Otto picked to be on State Auditors Assoc. exec committee

Minnesota State Auditor Rebecca Otto, a Democrat, has been elected to the Executive Committee of the National State Auditors Association. A news release put out by Otto's campaign says the election puts her on a "4-year track to the presidency" of the organization.

But she'll have to win reelection first. Otto is running against Republican Pat Anderson, a former State Auditor between 2003 and 2007. Otto defeated Anderson in 2006.
