An Education Committee grilling of Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty’s Education Commissioner, Cheryl Pierson Yecke, will take place next week. Meanwhile, Lt. Gov. Carol Molnau has been targeted by state DFLers seeking to derail her nomination as Transportation Commissioner. Democrats want to portray Molnau as narrow-minded and tied too closely to the House Republican caucus. But even her critics admit to her personal popularity, and that she is clearly a capable leader.
The question remains — is that justification for casting her out?
