Republican Tom Emmer's campaign says it has reached an agreement with elections officials in St. Louis and Pine Counties over the Emmer campaign's Data Practices Request. Here's the release from the Emmer campaign:

Emmer for Governor and officials from Pine and St. Louis County have reached tentative agreements on production of the information requested by Emmer for Governor, which was the subject of recently filed litigation. The parties will work cooperatively to complete the production as expeditiously and economically possible. In light of these developments, Emmer for Governor has agreed to hold the litigation in abeyance for now, and not seek any action by the court at this time.

"We are only interested in getting the information we are entitled to under the law, not winning a lawsuit. The parties expect the bulk of the requested information to be produced by the end of this week," Republican Party of Minnesota Chairman Tony Sutton said in announcing the tentative agreements with Pine and St. Louis counties regarding recently filed data practices requests.
