Minnesota state government applicants for top positions must reveal personal and psychological details during the vetting process. The Associated Press notes that executives face intense scrutiny of background, beliefs, and character as part of the selection.
Gov Rudy Perpich touts an open appointments system for full-time agency heads and part-time board members, saying no political clout is needed. The Governor relies on the Governor's Appointments Commission led by Gloria Griffin to screen applicants and present three to five names for his final choice.
The piece discusses Governor Perpich backing an open screening system for state posts and a new Natural Resources commissioner from Ohio, with supporters citing reduced patronage and clearer government while critics worry about politics and integrity. It notes Wisconsin interest and Utah use as models, plus comments from Mrs Griffin and Ulric Scott.
