Board number three for Pawlenty

By rachelsb

December 5, 2011 — 7:26pm

In between campaigning for Mitt Romney and bashing Michele Bachmann, former Gov. Tim Pawlenty has found time to join at least three companies’ boards of directors.

Minneapolis e-commerce company Digital River named him to their board Monday.

Interestingly, the Pawlenty bio in the Digital River release stresses the former governor’s business experience. According to the bio: Pawlenty, “served as Vice President of Corporate Development for Wizmo, an early stage technology services company, and was a member of the Board of Directors of NewTel Europe, LLC and Stratika.”

In October, Pawlenty was named to the board of directors of Atlanta-based supply chain company, RedPrairie and board of medical company, Miromatrix.

Duluth native still backs Confederate symbols

A Duluth native who just barely lost Virginia's GOP gubernatorial primary said that politicians have not gone far enough in condemning the left for violence during a rally of white nationalists in Charlottesville. "I think that the left is going to try to use this as an excuse to crack down on conservative free speech," said Corey Stewart. "I think they're going to try to use this as an excuse to remove more historical monuments."
