Thursday is the Minnesota National Day of Prayer at the State Capitol. Gov. Pawlenty, state lawmakers and even a Minnesota Supreme Court Justice are scheduled to attend. Here's the governor's prayer proclamation for this year.
Meanwhile, the Minnesota Atheists will be holding "A National Day of Reason" to call for the separation of Church and State. No word on whether any lawmakers or policy makers will attend the event.
The feature examines statements made by Minnesota politicians and checks them for accuracy. Based on data analysis, document reviews and interviews with non-partisan analysts, statements are rated either true, false or inconclusive. PoliGraph is a collaboration between Minnesota Public Radio News and the Humphrey School of Public Affairs at the University of Minnesota.
