The Alliance for a Better Minnesota started running an ad criticizing Republican Governor Tim Pawlenty's record. The group is backed by wealthy DFL donors, unions and Native American tribes.
The group has not been shy about targeting Governor Pawlenty. Their recent campaign finance report said they had $240,000 to spend on the upcoming election. Pawlenty's campaign manager said they would examine the campaign finance reports of DFLer Mike Hatch, The Alliance for a Better Minnesota and Minnesotans for Change before deciding if they would forego the state campaign subsidies and break the $2.4 million spending cap. Pawlenty has until Friday to decide.
Officials with The Alliance for Better Minnesota said the ads would start running on Twin Cities tv stations on Thursday. They wouldn't disclose the size of the ad buy.
