(NOTE: DATE REFERENCE IN LAST GRAPH - M.E. SHOULD CUT IT OUT IF REPLAYED FRI MORN!!) The Minnesota Lottery has a new permanent director. Governor Tim Pawlenty announced today (THURSDAY) that he's recruited Clint Harris to leave the top job at the South Dakota Lottery and take the reins of Minnesota's operation. The Minnesota Lottery has been without a permanent head since former director George Andersen committed suicide last winter. The incoming Harris says he hopes to more than double the lottery's contributions to the state within the next two decades. Minnesota Public Radio's Michael Khoo has more.
