In Walz listens to seniors, Robb Murray of the Mankato Free Press reports:
Fix the broken health care system, impeach George Bush and do whatever it takes to get a good farm bill and better care for veterans. That’s the earful Tim Walz got Thursday at a public forum, one of four scheduled for his district this week.
About 75 people showed up to the Summit Center Thursday afternoon. The crowd was mostly sympathetic to Walz political persuasion, and no one heckled the first-term Congressman.
“We do about one every nine days,” Walz said Thursday, moments after addressing the mostly senior Summit Center group. “I’m convinced this is the way the job is supposed to be done.”
Yesterday, the Free Press published Meeting with Walz truly open.
In Marshall on Monday, Representative Peterson urged area leader to work with Oberstar and Walz, Marshall Independent editor Dana Yost observes in Marshall road issues now have big-league allies:
Peterson essentially said if Marshall contacts Oberstar early — like now — our main goals will likely be written into the federal transportation bill.
Peterson said Marshall leaders also should work with his own staff and the staff of freshman Rep. Tim Walz, DFL-Minn., who represents all of southern Minnesota (including parts where highways 23 and 59 connect to Interstate 90) and is also on the transportation committee.
