Parry

March 4, 2010
State Capitol - By Marty Owings

I sat down with newly elected Republican Senator Mike Parry from Owatonna to discuss his first few weeks in office. You may recall that Parry filled the seat occupied by former long time Senator Dick Day who resigned to become a Lobbyist for racino's. Parry has some interesting things to say about his first weeks in office and touches on the controversy surrounding his tweets during the special election.

My second interview of the day was with Republican Representative Larry Howes from Walker, Minnesota. Howes has recently been very outspoken about separating politics from policy and has been critical of his own party at times. In this interview, Howes discusses why he thinks partisanship has become so prevalent, and you may be surprised at who he thinks is responsible. Howes addresses how long he hopes to serve and a small legacy he's proud to be leaving behind.
