Received an aggressive lit piece today from Rick Roche, who is running against Scott Dibble for the District 60 Senate seat in the Sept. 10 primary.
While I don't have the piece nearby, so I can't quote from it, Roche basically hammers Dibble for supporting stadiums in the legislature while opposing them as a candidate. Among the many charges, the one I remember most clearly involves what Roche calls the "Dibble amendment," which tacked $45 million onto a $330 million stadium bill. My suspicion - and it is only a guess - is that Dibble was trying to tack on $$ for affordable housing or some other lefty DFL priority as way to sink the bill by making it too expensive, or at least assure if it passed that something "good" would be in it. I'm hoping someone can post more details on Roche's charges (I'll ask my wife what she did with the flier in the a.m.). I'd especially like to hear the Dibble campaign's response. I'm sure they hate responding to an attack, but I'm sure this piece was sent widely, and just six days before the primary.
