"Kids ask the best questions," said Leslie Kupchella, Pawlenty's Press Secretary. "The governor wanted to provide them with some answers to those questions and also have a fun way for young people to learn more about their state."
In addition to biographical information on Governor Pawlenty and Lt. Governor Molnau, the site also includes interesting facts about Minnesota, useful safety tips for roller-blading, biking, boating and fishing, and educational games.
Information on the Web site was assembled using some of the questions sent to the state's top two officials. The entire site was a project of three summer college interns in the Governor's Office: Kevin Watterson, Mankato; Jo Kent, Minnetonka; and Mark Santi, Mahtomedi.
