Donald Wheat, meanwhile, is meeting with potential investors in Minneapolis to raise $1 million for a new plan to locate his motorhome factory in Duluth. Duluth City Councilor Thomas Huntley yesterday put his name in the running for the legislative seat being vacated by Rep. Thomas Berkelman. Berkelman has said he will resign his legislative seat to become a lobbyist in St. Paul and Washington.
