Candidates for governor have busy day

Governor Pawlenty released a plan that would create a meth registry. Pawlenty said Minnesotans should know who is selling, making or trafficking meth in the state. Attorney General Mike Hatch, who has the DFL endorsement, called it the "Simon Delivers for meth makers" because meth users will go on the website to find where they can get their next fix. MPR's Laura McCallum will have a story on it later.
DFL Senator Becky Lourey, who is challenging Mike Hatch in the September primary, brought up the tax issue today. She also says Pawlenty and Hatch haven't been specific enough on how they'd pay for their proposals.
The University of Minnesota's Center for the Study of Politics and Governance also has its schedule of candidate speeches:
