St. Cloud is getting a state human rights office.
Gov. Tim Pawlenty made the announcement this morning at a human rights rally in St. Cloud celebrating Martin Luther King Junior Day.
The office has been a priority for surrounding cities for the past couple years but has had a few setbacks from cities not wanting to commit without state help.
Gov. Pawlenty says the Human Rights Department office will be a partnership between the surrounding cities and the state.
