Let's spend all weekend arguing about how hard it is to fill out a WCT registration form while we blame everyone else for our inability to do it right! Sheesh!

The question has been out there now for 3 days and Ms. Heidecker continues to ignore it. Sounds like a political strategy, send a letter with shocking claims that may not be accurate but don't stand to defend those claims when asked. Just leave it as allowing others to have skepticisim. Forget facts I guess.

Well then now that we know that you are very involved in party politics it makes your comments even more puzzling. You jump on a couple of projects in your letter Aly and I want to get a little backround on them. I am sure that you know that on January 15th the Governor unveiled his bonding bill which was before the Senate or House shared theirs. Here is what I found included in that January Budget of the Conservative Governor: $15 million to the Minnesota Zoo for continuation of its master improvement plan, including the “Heart of the Zoo” entry, Visitor Center, and Environmental Education Center projects. $6 million for asset preservation at the Minnesota Zoo. $10 million to the Metropolitan Council to build and improve transitways identified in the Met Council’s 2030 Transportation Policy Plan. Recommendation would fund $3 million for Cedar Avenue Bus Rapid Transit and $7 million for the Southwest Corridor Those projects that you are trying to pin solely on Rep. Juhnke and the DFL actually came directly from the Conservative Governor. As lynn would say, hmm hmm hmm

Aly let me once again ask you do you know what Per Diem means? While you look at that I am wondering are you advocating that all per diems are wasteful?

Once again - falsehoods all around, because I HAD my full last name, but somehow when I went in to change my first name info, all that was there was an H! But hey, it's the media we are dealing with here - is anyone surprised?

Alysia - Your comment is false. Your registration did NOT include your last name, but only an initial and was thus incomplete. Thank you for updating your registration with your full name. - Tribune moderator

Thank you Sue! I would resubmit them, but as luck would have it, I don't have them saved. Maybe the "editor" will repost them? I'm guessing no. And I'm still waiting for other posts to be taken down before they are given a chance to submit their WHOLE name....

Alysia ~ Please re-submit your previous blog comments under your full name as they were dynamite! (Perhaps the real reason they were pulled.) I had a similar expereince as you. One of my letters to the editor that criticized the former Senator Dean Johnson's position was published the same day his rebuttal appeared on the opposite page. Of course, the current editor's defense is he wasn't the editor at that time. Well he is now. Keep marching onward, the truth is the light! Susan-legal name, Sue-familiar name, Susie-childhood name.
