Governor gains clout as new state departments created
Minnesota lawmakers outline expanded gubernatorial power under a reorganization that creates the finance and personnel departments led by governors appointed commissioners. Gov. Wendell Anderson will name the heads this summer with salaries of 35000 and 31000 dollars respectively. The change shifts top staff from Civil Service to unclassified service, increasing executive control over state operations. Separately, the 300 room Lowry Hotel in St Paul is to be converted into an office building with 15 residents relocated by June 15.
