McPherson Hall of Minnesota Central sent me a press release this afternoon about the newly formed Republican Party of Minnesota’s Health Care Coalition; another friend had sent a notice of the press conference in Rochester about the accompanying press conference. Both were appreciated, though I received the latter too late to drive to Rochester.
Another tip came in today as well, and while I respect the source very much, it's not the sort of thing that I'll run with on this site.
My readers should know that I'm simply not much interested in tips that deal with negative news about the personal lives of public officials or local leaders, regardless of their party. Nor am I interested in repeating gossip while decrying it and searching for motives in the actions of those who are doing the talking.
Unless there's a direct impact on policy or that individual's ability to hold office because of the story--and that story can be confirmed--Bluestem has little concern about private and personal matters that I was taught were none of my business.
Posting has been light this week while I read about policy questions, mostly checking out conservative proposals for health care reform (medical malpractice reform, deregulation of insurance by the states, etc.) as well as drafting a creative project. More on both as the week progresses.
