Or "it is Governor Pawlenty's fault!" Or it is failure of the Republican House members to be non-partisan on the issue. <BR/><BR/>And if need be Mr. Kalin can go even further back up the bureaucratic chain and point out that it was the incompetence of the Lt. Governor who was serving as Transportation Commissioner that caused the problem! <BR/><BR/>Mr. Kalin has adeptly turned to these "excuses" a number of times in the past so why not use them again. After all, what works, works!! <BR/><BR/>Remember how Mr. Kalin intimated, when he was a candidate, that had he been the State Representative instead of Pete Nelson the bridge would have been built or well on its way?<BR/><BR/>There's a big difference between promises and performance and Mr. Kalin vividly defines and delineates that difference. And we in this legislative district are paying the price.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
