MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - A coalition of environmental groups in Minnesota is asking candidates for governor what they would do to protect the environment.

The Minnesota Environmental Partnership is holding the candidate forum early on in the race - voters won't head to the polls to choose a replacement for Gov. Tim Pawlenty until November 2010.

It's only been a week since the Republican announced he won't seek a third term, so most of those expected to attend the forum are Democrats. They include House Speaker Margaret Anderson Kelliher, Ramsey County Attorney Susan Gaertner, former legislators Matt Entenza and Steve Kelley, and legislators John Marty and Paul Thissen.

Labor and Industry Commissioner Steve Sviggum, a Republican, has told organizers he will attend.
