More on Sviggum

Posted at 7:27 AM on June 27, 2007 by Mike Mulcahy

Gov. Pawlenty called his former colleague and choice for commissioner of Labor and Industry someone who is "known for his ability to work with and listen to people on all sides of an issue."

DFL state party chair Brian Melendez says the former speaker has "established a long record of working against the best interests of Minnesota's working families," and labor is likely to oppose his appointment.

What do you think? You can hear from Sviggum himself on Midday Wednesday at 11 and maybe even get in a question of your own.
