Another Swanson office staffer says she was asked to do political work

A former staff member of Minnesota Attorney General and gubernatorial candidate Lori Swanson came forward Saturday to say that she was tasked to do political work while on the clock of the state's chief legal office.

Kristen Olsen approached the Star Tribune on Saturday and said that as a lawyer in the attorney general's office, she was asked to research gas prices and health care during Swanson's 2006 race. The two projects seemed more like campaign duties than the work of the attorney general, Olsen said.
