# Minn. Stat. ch. 351 *Minnesota statute chapter cited as the gubernatorial-commission mechanism for removing a county attorney.* **Minn. Stat. ch. 351** is a chapter of the [[Minnesota]] Statutes. The project's at-issue record identifies it as the removal mechanism used against a [[county attorney]] in 1985. That mechanism was a gubernatorial commission.[^1] The same record states that the 1985 mechanism is the one available in 2026. It also reports that the project located no Minnesota enactment altering county-attorney accountability in response to Scott County.[^1] The record establishes the mechanism and its continuity. It does not establish the chapter's text, who enacted or amended it, or the outcome of the 1985 proceeding.[^1] ## What The at-issue record describes chapter 351 as providing a gubernatorial commission as the means of removing a county attorney.[^1] The record lists its underlying sources as a Legislative Reference Library record and a Revisor statute page (lrl.mn.gov; revisor.mn.gov). The pack does not supply the URLs of either source.[^1] ## When - **1985**: The record states that the mechanism was used against a county attorney. It connects the matter to Scott County.[^1] - **2026**: The record states that the same mechanism is the removal mechanism available.[^1] - **No later enactment located**: The project located no Minnesota enactment, between 1985 and 2026, altering county-attorney accountability in response to Scott County. This is the project's search finding, not an independently established fact.[^1] ## In the at-issue record At-issue pair AI-Scott-025 sets two dated facts side by side: - In 1985, the removal mechanism used against a county attorney was a gubernatorial commission under chapter 351. - In 2026, that mechanism is still the one available, and the project located no responsive change to county-attorney accountability.[^1] The project anchors the pair to the White House presidential action *Establishing the Task Force to Eliminate Fraud*, dated March 2026.[^2] The pack does not show that the action addresses chapter 351, county attorneys, or Scott County.[^2] ## Notes [^1]: Minnesota wiki project, *At-issue pair AI-Scott-025* (Matrix 2.7; year 1985) — identifies Minn. Stat. ch. 351 as the gubernatorial-commission removal mechanism used against a county attorney in 1985. It states that the mechanism is the one available in 2026 and that no Minnesota enactment altering county-attorney accountability in response to Scott County was located.
