Governor Pawlenty Spares Minnesota OSHA

摘要

In a surprise announcement, Minne-sota Gov. Tim Pawlenty reversed course March 6 and agreed to maintain his state's control over workpolace health and safety. In February, Pawlenty proposed saving US1.2 million over the next year by terminating Minnesota OSHA's monitoring of private employers, laying off 69 state plan officials, and handing over the program to federal OSHA.
