Words To Live By
"You're just petty politicians, who'd sooner sign onto the wisdom of a tyrant in another country, than the demands of ticked off voters in your own." (Neil Cavuto June 2008)

“I didn’t question her patriotism. I questioned her judgment.” Mr. Cheney went on: “The point I made and I’ll make it again is that Al Qaeda functions on the basis that they think they can break our will. That’s their fundamental underlying strategy, that if they can kill enough Americans or cause enough havoc, create enough chaos in Iraq, then we’ll quit and go home. And my statement was that if we adopt the Pelosi policy, that then we will validate the strategy of Al Qaeda. I said it, and I meant it.” (Vice President Cheney NYT Feb. 2007)

"A political party cannot be all things to all people. It must represent certain fundamental beliefs which must not be compromised to political expediency, or simply to swell its numbers. (Ronald Reagan March 1, 1975)

"Oh, no! First of all, if I took one vote away from a serious candidate, it would be a sin." (Al Franken Time Magazine, 9/1/03)

Jobs Are At Risk In Minnesota Legislature

While the DFL controlled Legislature is being held hostage to the whims of the DFL’s special interest buddies, there is real meaningful Legislation that could save Minnesota jobs.

H.F. No. 2953, as introduced – 85th Legislative Session (2007-2008) Posted on Feb 13, 2008
A bill for an act relating to capital investment; authorizing spending to acquire and better public land and buildings and other improvements of a capital nature; authorizing the issuance of state bonds; appropriating money for a grant to the city of Litchfield for wastewater treatment facility improvements.

This is a bill introduced by Rep. Dean Urdahl (R) 18B.

Sounding weary from the ordeal, Urdahl said in a telephone interview Friday that he’s been told if he doesn’t vote to override, a funding request for Litchfield’s wastewater treatment facility could be blocked. The project is crucial for an expansion of the First District Association, a dairy processing plant in Litchfield.

“Certainly I’m being lobbied, threatened. All sorts of neat things,” Urdahl said.

That’s from a story on Saturday. Here you can find a detailed report of the request.

As I understand it, if this bill does not pass, companies will be forced to leave the state as they have reached capacity of Minnesota’s new wastewater output regulations and Litchfield’s ccapabilities. This could cost the State 300 jobs that would move to South Dakota if Litchfield doesn’t upgrade.

One has to wonder if Urdahl votes to sustain the veto on the Transit Tax bill, if his bill to save jobs will even get a hearing in the DFL legislature?
