Dennis thinks that Thune ought to support Ortega because �Chris Coleman
endorsed the
candidate who was �backed by supporters of the ethanol plant� in the city
council race in
2003.��

�
Let�s be reasonable here.� If Chris accepted campaign contributions from anyone
connected with GSE for his run in 2000, let�s remember that back in the fall of
2000 we
were at a point where we�d had only one or two meetings with plant officials,
the CO2
facility hadn�t yet been installed, the brewery jobs were still hanging in the
balance, and
we hadn�t run into the resistance we later saw.�
�
Moreover, if the taint spreads as far as Dennis would have it (can�t support
anyone who
accepted support from someone who supported GSE), take a look at the unions
here.�
One of the last times that GSE's ethanol producer payment subsidy was up for
consideration at the State legislature, it wasn't GSE up �there advocating
publicly that it
be continued.� Nor was it the farmers.� No, not even the other ethanol
producers.� No
lobbyists. No paid mouthpieces.

The lone speaker at the hearing saying that my tax dollars should continue to
pay for the
deterioration of my neighborhood, the decline of my property values, and the
continued
illness of my family and my neighbors was the president of the Building and
Construction Trades Council, Dick Anfang.� Are we going to reject their
endorsed
candidates?
�
I think we need to cut the taint off somewhere.
