In Montevideo rallies troops to build veterans' nursing home, West Central Tribune reporter Tom Cherveny writes:
[Tim] Miller said having legislators from the two different parties working on its behalf could help in the Legislature, since each is part of the majority party in their respective chambers.
Having both an experienced and newly elected office holder might help too, he said. Miller said he can be the “young, brash” legislator “who thinks he can get anything done and is dumb enough to ask the questions and push people around and Lyle will clean up the mess and take care of it,’’ he said, laughing.
Where to begin with this? Miller's self image as a "young" legislator suggests that the 48-year-old grandfather (who turns 49 on December 20) lacks more in self-awareness more than he possesses in youth.
Moreover, with competing proposals from other parts of the state--and some discussion of studying the use of scattered sites under private management--one wonders why expecting Koenen to be able to "clean up the mess" Miller promises to make in that lack of self-awareness can be thought to be any sort of a selling point on Miller's part.
Or that he'll do much other than unravel the work so many have done to move the project forward. We suppose that's "dumb enough."
