The Economic Club of Minnesota was created last year by former Congressmen Mark Kennedy (R), Tim Penny (DFL) and Bill Frenzel (R). The group says it is was created to "to provide a high-profile, non-partisan platform for national and international leaders in business, government and public policy to present their ideas on how Minnesota can better compete and win in an increasingly globalized economy and how America can most effectively provide world leadership."
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.
