I have heard ad nauseam from DFLers of every stripe
that Republicans hate Minneapolis. It's as if they
feel that if they say it often enough it will become
true.
The Republicans and the GOP House caucus don't hate
Minneapolis. They have a different view on public
policy. It is a very immature view on the world in
which you decide that people who disagree with you
must hate you.
Minneapolis would be far better off if the mayor and
council had tried the standard stop by and carefully
explain their plans and goals and needs. But they
didn't. Or maybe they did and the outstate DFL reps
told them not to show up as they didn't want to piss
money down a rathole.

However, as citizens, we should expect politicians to
have a concept of the collective public interest as
well as self-interest. As parents, we tell our kids
"two wrongs don't make a right." Does that change when
we become adults?

Finally some commons sense strikes. Pay heed one and
all.

This point has been referenced earlier, but I see a
need for it to be spelled out:
Republicans are in the majority in the House. We in
Minneapolis did not elect a single one of them. These
folks try to do what their constituents will like, so
they can preserve their seat.
Why WOULD they be chomping at the bit to do things
which specifically benefit Minneapolis? They are
politicians... not a bunch of Saints.
