The Pawlenty administration's first 100 days


A busy week is ahead for lawmakers, who will vote on a concealed weapons bill, consider medical spending and hear a new formula for sending aid to local governments. The Senate will vote as soon as Monday on a bill that would make it tougher for sheriffs and police chiefs to turn down requests for permits to carry concealed handguns. Minnesota would become the 35th state with such a law. The measure has cleared the House, and a test vote last week shows that it's likely to pass the Senate, too. Governor Pawlenty says he would sign it. We look at the administration of Republican Gov. Tim Pawlenty, after the first 100 days.
