Talk radio drives me crazy because people say things that aren't true and
pretty soon dozens of others are quoting it because "They heard it on the

the truth:
---Pat Born was hired in 1999 by St. Paul to broker a financial plan with the
MN twins using a majority of public funds, which the voters rightly rejected,

funded mostly with public dollars.
If indeed, the mayor and the city coordinator looked at several
candidates for the financial director position, let's hear who they were.
But most importantly, why was the positions given to a person with such a
strong background in publicly funded businesses? It seems highly unlikely
that all the qualified candidates for the city finance director had an
equally strong history with funding businesses with public dollars. That is
the problem.
Just what is the deal with these big-business democrats? I mean with
democrats like these, who needs republicans.
