Franken Marches in 4th of July Parades

Senator-elect Al Franken will be marching in six 4th of July parades Friday and Saturday. Earlier this week the Minnesota Supreme court ruled the Democrat should be awarded an election certificate following many months of recounts and legal challenges. He is expected to take the oath of office Tuesday.

Franken says he regrets being unable to work on the nation's tough economic problems during the interim. He says unemployment on the iron range has put a heavy strain on families in northeastern Minnesota.
