Without commenting on the substance of the piece still to be published, motives are a tricky thing. Given that the state is being asked, in effect, to absorb most of the shortfall in the state teachers' fund, I see no reason why Knoblach shouldn't be involved, especially if he's on the finance committee. It's a big number, potentially, for the state, and non-Minneapolis state legislators have every right to offer options and be involved. Why not focus on the merits of the reform options instead of the personal angle? David Brauer Kingfield REMINDERS: 1. Think a member has violated the rules?
