Part 1 (2005/075): Original Collection, 1989-2002
Physical Description: 2.4 cubic feet (2 records center cartons and 2 archives boxes) 
Scope and Content Note: Alphabetical subject files of various members of Governor McCallum's legal staff, particularly Amanda Schaunburg and Chad R. Taylor. Part deals with routine approvals, but there are informational files on the state tobacco settlement, Indian gaming, and the Ethics Reform Task Force. The only file that does not date from the McCallum administration is one on the Ethics Commission, probably used by the Ethics Reform Task Force as background information. Overall, there is little documentation of direct contact between the governor and this office.
