Couple of things going on today…
Gov. Tim Pawlenty hinted on Midday yesterday that Minnesota job numbers are way up. They must be, because he's going to release the latest numbers himself at the Capitol today.
On the DFL side Sen. Becky Lourey is ripping Mike Hatch for not debating before the Sept. 12 primary.
DFLer Secretary of State candidate Mark Ritchie is using the case of an IP candidate for Legislature to bash Republican incumbent Mary Kiffmeyer. MPR's Laura McCallum has that story.
In an unreated case the state Supreme Court will hear the challenge to Rep. Gil Gutknecht's petition to be on the ballot. Kiffmeyer is backing Gutknecht.
