Last night I headed over to Waite Park for the Senate District 15 DFL Picnic in the Park. In between eating some delicious food, I was able to get some video of our House candidates as well as Anna Richey from the Tinklenberg Campaign.
Joanne Dorsher spoke to use about her experiences on the school board as well as the importance she places on education. Unfortunately, her Edwatch sponsored opponent has been out voting NO on important education related legislation.

Anna Richey got up to speak in place of Elwyn Tinklenberg who couldn't make the event. She laid down some smack on Michele Bachmann for voting against senior citizens.
The man who I have the pleasure of having as my representative in the Minnesota House, Larry Haws, gave an excellent speech about education and the importance of all day every day kindergarten funding.

I like Grandpa Larry. He's great when he isn't making statements like this:
Steve Gottwalt had just said that we needed to do a better job prioritizing education spending, prompting Larry Haws to say “Maybe we do need to prioritize.”
Of course, when Steve Gottwalt said that kids benefit as much by having parents read to them as they benefit from all day kindergarten, Larry snapped out of his trance & said "Maybe I should pass a law mandating that parents read to their children every day."
Larry's a willing water carrier but a policy wonk he ain't.
