Title:
Communications Department videotapes, 1987, 1991-1998.
Managed by the staff of the Governor's Communications Department, these videotapes document the policies, activities, and decisions of the Carlson administration. They cover a variety of programming: speeches, public affairs and news programs, teleconferences, public service announcements, and public meetings. During the call-in portions included in many of the teleconference and meeting videotapes, there occurs a spontaneous community interaction that may not be documented in any other medium. Many of the videotapes contain news programs originating on Twin Cities television stations, particularly KTCA, KARE, WCCO, KSTP, and KMSP. Several editions of KTCA's weekly Almanac program are included, as well as, programs originating on Rochester and Duluth television stations and on the C-SPAN network. General topics dealt with in the videotapes include the economy, environment, education, crime prevention and safety, budget, taxes, ethics, healthcare, state and national politics, welfare reform, and technology, while topics of particular interest to Carlson's office include his Minnesota Milestones (budget) and Minnesota 2000 (outcome based education) programs, his 1993 budget bus tours, school vouchers and education tax credits, publicly funded boarding schools, disaster recovery efforts following flood (1993, 1997) and tornado (1998) damage, the Minnesota Twins baseball team's threatened move, Y2K compliance, and the 1998 U.S.S. Des Moines controversy. The videotapes also cover Carlson appearances in Mexico (ca. 1991) and Japan (1992), National Governors' Association meetings, his State of the State addresses (1991-1996, 1998), and appearances by lieutenant governors Joanell Dyrstad (1991) and Joanne Benson (1997).
