On Wednesday, Iron Range-area legislative candidates have been invited to participate in a forum sponsored by the Duluth News Tribune. The forum is part of the editorial board's screening process as the newspaper determines its endorsements this fall while offering opportunities for voters to hear directly from candidates. The public is invited to attend this free event in the Iroquois Room of the Mountain Iron Community Center, 8586 Enterprise Dr. S.
House District 3A Rep. Dave Dill, DFL-Crane Lake, and House District 6B Republican candidate Jesse Colangelo have indicated conflicts and will not attend. They'll be interviewed individually and privately by the editorial board.

10 a.m. -- From Senate District 6, Sen. Dave Tomassoni, DFL-Chisholm, and Republican Brandon Anderson of Chisholm; and from Senate District 3, Sen. Tom Bakk,
