Fletcher Recall
November 17, 2003 - A group of St. Paul community activists plans to kick off a petition drive today (MONDAY) to try to recall Ramsey County Sheriff Bob Fletcher. The people organizing the petition drive say Fletcher abused his power after a city council candidate debate last month. Fletcher took a stack of cards containing questions for the candidates, after one of the cards read aloud by the moderator made claims about the relationship between Fletcher and candidate Kris Reiter (RY-der) that both say are false. Fletcher says he and Reiter were defamed, and he didn't abuse his authority when he took the cards. Minnesota Public Radio's Laura McCallum reports...

In advance of Governor's trip to Canada, we ask whether trade missions have much value
September 26, 2003 - Governor Pawlenty leaves Sunday on his first trade mission, a two-day trip to Montreal. The governor says he wants to promote Minnesota's biosciences and medical industries.

Others aren't so sure. Minnesota Public Radio's Laura McCallum reports.
