Walz reprimands IRRRB chief in wake of DFLer's resignation

Gov. Tim Walz sent his commissioner overseeing the Iron Range economic development agency an official letter of reprimand Thursday after allegations of DFL cronyism at the agency surfaced last week.

"I expect you to model openness, transparency, inclusivity, and servant leadership. In this situation, you fell far short of my expectations," Walz wrote to Mark Phillips, commissioner of the Iron Range Resources and Rehabilitation Board (IRRRB).
