The Austin Daily News reports Walz to host vets forum:
Congressman Tim Walz has announced he will host a veterans forum at 1 p.m. Friday, March 28 at the American Legion in Austin. Walz will review veterans legislation passed by the Congress in 2007 and will discuss veterans initiatives he plans to push for in 2008.
During his first year in Congress, Walz has been a leader on veterans issues, fighting for the largest increase in funding for the Veterans Administration in the 77-year history of the VA, and working to ease the transition between active duty and veterans’ status.
The veterans forum is free and open to the public and press. No RSVP is necessary. The Legion is located at 809 12th St. S.W.
This will be Walz’s final veterans forum of March. He held forums earlier this month in Mankato, Waseca, New Ulm and Rochester.

Looks to us like the Easter Bunny visited Tim Walz's campaign website and left a goodie-filled new basket. We like the caucus photos the best. The new site is more user friendly, interactive, and done up in a lovely blue palette. Plenty of eye candy for Walz's peeps.
We have to hop down the bunnytrail ourselves, but will return later in the day with more news and analysis.
