| Senator Amy Klobuchar will kick-off “Connecting with Government” on April 2  The Center for the Study of
Politics and Governance (CSPG) will kick-off a new program series, “Connecting
with Government: Public Forums with Minnesota's Elected Officials,” with
a lecture from Senator Amy Klobuchar.
The program will be held from noon to 1:30 p.m. Monday, April 2, in Cowles Auditorium.
“Connecting with Government” will feature policy presentations from
Minnesota¿s elected representatives. The policy talks follow in the footsteps
of CSPG¿s 2006 Candidate Forum, a series of public lectures that featured major
party candidates running for statewide office.
“The center is committed to fostering informed and substantive discussion
on important matters of public policy,” said Humphrey Institute Professor
Lawrence Jacobs, CSPG director. “These programs will allow Minnesota's
elected officials to rise above the talking points and fractious back-and-forth
of the legislative process and speak directly to the citizens of Minnesota.”
Klobuchar¿s presentation is free and open to the public. Registration is
not required. For more information on CSPG and its activities, visit its website.
