Our chief webhead who makes this whole "blog thing" work suggested that I introduce myself since I'm one of the people replacing Collins. Here goes...
My name is Tom Scheck and I cover politics and state government for MPR. You may hear me on the radio. I also covered health care and Minneapolis since I joined MPR News in 2000. Before I joined MPR, I worked in Muncie, Indiana for Indiana Public Radio. I graduated from Syracuse University and grew up in Bethlehem, PA.
I like golfing with my boy, Brian Bakst of the Associated Press and watching my beloved Philadelphia Eagles with my wife and my dog. I read blogs so I think that's why I was picked to do this thing. Feedback is appreciated unless you're a Nigerian banker looking for $25,000 or someone looking to sell pharmaceuticals over the internet.
