Barkley to stay independent as Minnesota interim senator
Independent Dean Barkley announced he will not align with either party when he becomes Minnesota’s interim senator, keeping Democrats in control during the lame duck session. His neutrality means Senate leadership remains with Tom Daschle while Republicans prepare to gain a majority later this month with Jim Talent’s arrival. Barkley noted his appointment by Gov. Jesse Ventura and his belief in serving Minnesota as an independent.
