[Winona Online Democracy] In response to the statement: The combination of improving three crossings was well received by the Railroad and all members of congress with whom we have communicated.
1- The members of Congress don't live here and won't have to live with the issue. 2- Rep. Gutknecht receives lots of money from the railroad- so I wouldn't expect him to ever say anything negative that would benefit the railroad. I wonder if the Senators do? -Ruth Charles > From: Keith Nelson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Date: Fri, 24 Feb 2006 08:13:03 -0600 > To: john finn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, Online Democracy <[email protected]> > Conversation: [Winona] Huff Street Underpass > Subject: RE: [Winona] Huff Street Underpass > > [Winona Online Democracy] > > John Finn, > Thanks John, typically those kinds of personal shots are > reserved for mayors, city managers, or school superintendents.
