St. Paul Pioneer Press Reporters Morph into Animals -- Political Animals
The St. Paul Pioneer Press Capitol press corps team has launched a new blog, "The Political Animal." Veteran political reporters Bill Salisbury, Rachel Stassen-Berger and Dennis Lien
"will cover the ins and outs of Minnesota politics from the legislative
session to the political races to Republican National Convention." So
far, so good. A post about which legislators accept the lowest per diems of the bunch. Answers: Sen. Tony Lourey (DFL-Kerrick) in the Senate and Rep. Steve Simon (DFL-St. Louis Park) in the House. Another about Republican legislators sporting new "I Support Molnau" buttons. And, a post about Rep. Dennis Ozment
(R-Rosemount) arriving at the Capitol direct from Ecuador a mere 20
minutes before yesterday's opening gavel. All posts telling us
something we didn't know. Good on Salisbury, Stassen-Berger and Lien.
