Attorney General scandals?
There's been a bit of an edit war going on in this article. While I'm not a Wikipedia administrator, I think the best resolution is this: keep the information regarding allegations of misconduct in the article, but remove sensationalistic phrases like, "her tenure has been plagued by scandal", etc. It's not a newspaper article and this isn't investigative journalism. It's encyclopedic. Only submit the bare-bones facts. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.122.55.204 (talk) 14:00, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
 * The above is good advice. See our policy on biographies of living persons. I have semi-protected the page as there was a lot of back and forth by IP addresses and new accounts. Jonathunder (talk) 15:14, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

Allegations
The recent additions from 174.126.207.39 regarding the 2008 allegations of corruption are not written neutrally. Including that non-event in this political biography is undue as the allegations were disproven. gobonobo + c 00:26, 7 July 2015 (UTC) I must disagree. The facts are stated in a fair and honest manner. The addition made reference to the allegations being dismissed due to insufficient evidence. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.126.207.39 (talk) 11:35, 8 July 2015 (UTC) I choose to not continue arguing over the matter. However, allegations regarding political figures and the results shouldn't be ignored.

Copyedit and reorganization needed for this article
Over the years, this page has been subject to numerous additions from sources who are likely close to the subject. We can acknowledge that many of the claims are sourced, but many, if not all, of those sources are not formatted properly at all. In addition, the order of material is not organized. The first few paragraphs in the AG section discussing some of her beginning years as MN's AG are somewhat organized in a chronological manner, but by the end of the AG section, it begins to read as various claims, taglines, and summaries with non-neutral wording, supplemented all by the aforementioned problematic sourcing. Please consider rewriting the article so as to integrate relevant substantive details while ensuring all materials are in chronological order. Tunestoons (talk) 01:13, 23 June 2021 (UTC)
