MPR's Midmorning continues its series about the Minnesota budget shortfall with lawmakers who are running for governor. GOP Rep. Tom Emmer and DFL Rep. Paul Thissen will be on the show at 9 o'clock Thursday morning. They'll discuss how they plan to address the State's budget deficit if they're elected and whether they support Gov. Pawlenty's budget priorities.
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.
