Dianne Mandernach Update
Minnesota's embattled health commissioner Diane Mandernach is resigning, effective Oct. 2. Mandernach has been criticized for withholding information on the cancer deaths of 35 miners.
The department discovered in March 2006 that a rare, asbesetos [sic]-related cancer had stricken 35 more miners. Seventeen cases had been previously known. All the miners have died.
According to documents obtained by the Star Tribune, officials had planned last year to disclose the information. But state Health Commissioner Dianne Mandernach rejected those plans last fall.
