A friend who was present at the Rochester Higher Education Committee release of its U of M-Rochester expansion proposal told me this afternoon that Welti, LIEbling and Kiscaden were present and accounted for. As I watched the local news tonight, there they were front and center. Kiscaden dragged DFL senate District 30 hopeful Ann Lynch to the event for a photo-op. Ironically, Nancy Brataas, Kiscaden's former mentor, was sitting across the aisle from Kiscaden. Next to Distric 30A Republican candidate Carla Nelson.
Either Welti, LIEbling and Kiscaden have learned to check their emails regularly or finally understand that they can no longer only give half-hearted lip service to the idea of a four-year university in Rochester. They have to pretend to support it publicly too.
The only sure way to make the four-year university in Rochester a reality is to reelect Governor Tim Pawlenty, fire Andy Welti and Tina Liebling and snuff the electoral hopes of Ann Lynch and Kim Norton. The DFL's spending priorities lie in the Twin Cities and the Iron Range, not the Med City. Under a DFL regime, Rochester would be reduced to a piggy bank to finance their failed social experiments.
Even if LIEbling, Welti and Kiscaden were inclined to promote the four-year university effort, which they are not, their DFL puppetmasters in the Twin Cities would never agree to giving Rochester her due.
