Minnesota Attorney General Lori Swanson will meet Monday with officials from Freeborn County and Albert Lea regarding Mayo Clinic’s plans to consolidate services at its Albert Lea campus.
Benjamin Velzen — assistant attorney general and manager of the charities division, which oversees nonprofits — sent a letter to Mayo on Wednesday. The same letter was also sent to the local officials Swanson plans to meet with on Monday.
The letter confirms a review of Mayo’s consolidation plans in Albert Lea, while also requesting information or data via 23 specific questions broken down under two categories — “Questions regarding governance and decision-making process” and “Questions regarding use of restricted assets.”
Swanson’s office requested Mayo’s response by Aug. 30.
