Gov. Pawlenty's spokesman Brian McClung says Pawlenty filled out his Census form over the weekend. Pawlenty made news on Friday when he said he missed the deadline to submit the paperwork. AP reported at the time that he was one of only a few governors not to send it in in a timely manner.
McClung didn't respond to a follow up e-mail that asked if Pawlenty sent in the form.
McClung said the governor did put the form in the mail.
