Damage Control

If their absence at Governor Pawlenty's Rochester Bioscience Center announcement does not convince voters that Rep. Tina Welti, Rep. Tina LIEbling and Senator Sheila Kiscaden's focus is not the economic, scientific and educational development of southeastern Minnesota, nothing will.

Welti, LIEbling and Kiscaden were at the Governor's Rochester Higher Education Committee announcement yesterday because they HAD to be. After the P-B exposed their absence (snub, actually) from the Governor's previous visit, they couldn't afford to have their hypocrisy and disregard for issues that benefit Rochester exposed in the media again.

Hiding their partisanship behind a façade of moderation is a carnival trick that has run its course. When the legislature is in session, Welti, LIEbling and Kiscaden are there and that is all that really counts to the Twin Cities/Iron Range DFL.
