What has always puzzled me is what interest Dick Day has in the inner workings and quality of life of Minneapolis and the metro area. What standing does he have? Of course he is a state representative and he votes on bills that have relevance to Mpls. But his fixation on the nitty-gritty details of our daily lives is grossly misplaced. It would be like Phyliss Kahn obsessing over corn and ethanol subsidies and the day-to-day operations of grain elevators and individual farms. Aside from looking at the state budget and general agricultural and trade policies she chooses to direct her time to issues that directly affect Minneapolis residents.
Dick, let me send you a message. Stick to the highway between Owatanna and St.Paul; concern yourself with the schools in Owatanna. Look out for the overall good of the state and don't overstep your responsibilites when it comes to Minneapolis.
