I guess I don't see that as a staunch liberal, I see it as a person who is trying to find a way to solve a problem that the governor has no solutions to except to Borrow the money from our kids. What a great thinker!!! BTW, the Chamber of Commerce sees it as a problem and is willing to have a gas tax increase. What an idea, make the people that use the system pay for it. Huh? What a concept. She stands to benefit? Stop with the baseless mudslinging. Is that what this blog is about. Rumors with no proof? Wow is that impressive. NOT! >But of course, as a dutiful “moderate” you >will assume any grain of truth or quote from a >candidate that paints them as a staunch >liberal is mud slinging.

Which in case you are wondering is bitching about Mark Kennedy's loss and talking about how great Joe Repya is. Oh, and how could I forget, jerking off to a picture of Fred Thompson!

Which is, I believe, your point. It's a pittance for her when she's pulling in the big bucks. She cares more for getting revenue for government than she does for people who are scraping by.

Seems she has an affinity for pushing public projects that she may stand to benefit from financially. But of course, as a dutiful "moderate" you will assume any grain of truth or quote from a candidate that paints them as a staunch liberal is mud slinging.

What is the news here? Is it the fact that Rep. Hortman supports a gas tax? That is not new news. Is it the fact that Rep. Hortman has been a supporter of the Northstar rail? That is not news. What is the news??? Is it that Rep. Hortman is effective? Or is it that Rep. Hortman is dedicated to fixing our underfunded transportation system. (These are Tim Pawlenty's words, not mine.) Maybe the author of this could clarify why this is a story? Or what the point is, besides slinging mud. But maybe that is the best that the author can do. Sling mud! This is the weirdest story.
