>From today's Strib: "I think the county should pass the best possible plan they can and send it to the Capitol and get in line behind higher priorities like public safety, education, health care and transportation," said Rybak, who has both favored and opposed past stadium plans. "I don't ask them to come over here and play City Council member, and I don't go over there and play County Board member."
Although Rybak's DFL challenger, Hennepin County Commissioner Peter McLaughlin, also was not at the plan's unveiling, McLaughlin said Thursday that he would vote for the plan and acknowledged that doing so would "cost me votes" at the endorsing convention. "It's not easy," he said, but "I think it's time to stand up." http://www.startribune.com/stories/462/5375659.html David Brauer List manager REMINDERS: 1. Be civil!
