Gov. Tim Pawlenty is spending his final week in office boxing up some materials for the Minnesota Historical Society.
Pawlenty's office announced today that the documents and artifacts from the past eight years included an oversized, novelty veto pen, as well as actual veto stamps. The news release noted that Pawlenty issued 299 complete bill and line-item vetoes during his two terms as governor, including a single-year record in 2008.
