MinnPost:
This morning's news conference took a sharp turn, however, when Luke Hellier, who runs a conservative website Minnesota Democrats Exposed, started asking Dayton about his divorce records a decade ago from Janice Haarstick, his second wife. Earlier, he and his first wife, Alida Rockefeller Messinger, had divorced.
On his website and in repeated questions to Dayton this morning, Hellier claimed that two statements from Dayton's former wife have been removed from the public record and should be made available to the public.
Money quote from Luke:
When the news conference ended, Dayton headed out of the Capitol with Hellier in pursuit asking Dayton to open his records.
Later, Hellier, who once was a staff member for U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann and took over Democrats Exposed from Michael Brodkorb, who now is the deputy chairman of the Republican Party, attempted to justify bringing up the divorce.
"I'm not the morality czar," Hellier said. "It's not personal. … But if the Star Tribune is going to spend so much time going into Emmer's background, it's only fair they do the same to Dayton."
