Pawlenty called the deficit - the exact number being released Thursday (Feb. 28) - "serious but solvable."
The Minnesota Senate streamlined Lt. Gov. Carol Molnau's job title on
Thursday (Feb, 28) as expected, rejecting her confirmation as

Gov. Tim Pawlenty's experiment in having his lieutenant governor pull double-duty came to an end on a 44-22 party line vote.
Pawlenty was "disappointed" by the Senate vote, he said at a Capitol press conference.
