That says it all. Nancy Schumacher is still the contact person, until the convention, when she will not be seeking reelection. I am unsure what to expect. I have not covered or attended this level of meeting before; but as part of the blogging press, I anticipate it will be a learning experience.
I could not find any DFL official website info, beyond this link.
I presume there was a mailing that went out to all of the delegates. I have not seen a press release. I looked at MinnPost and MinnIndependent, and found nothing. If something is there, I missed it.
If anyone knows of an online agenda, whether candidates will have perliminary sessions earlier or whether it is strict doors open only at 11 am, please supply a comment.
The Reed website indicates "Emma" is coordinating for them, 612-741-1653.
The Clark website posts the same barebones info I have, in the headline, and does not list a contact person.
On looking at MinnPost and MinnIndependent sites, interesting articles from MinnPost were here and here. The first item, everyone should read. It relates to small community bank and credit union survival, and politics. The second item, it pays tribute to the Michele Bachmann years and what she's done for Minnesota and the Sixth District and what it has gotten us. Really. Have a look.
MinnIndependent items I found interesting, here, here, here, here, here.
The first item ia about a pattern Michele Bachmann established in the State Senate, favoring press attention over committee participation.
The second item should make one recall that Michele Bachmann and the Bachmann family farm in Wisconsin in which Michele and Marcus Bachmann own an interest, has been beneficiary of welfare subsidies and the woman's not raised a peep about us suburbanites in the Sixth District paying in tax cash so her family could take it out in welfare payments for rich farms. But if you want consistency and quality, look elsewhere than Michele Bachmann. She'll rail interminably one time, and the other time, she'll quietly take the cash off the table.
So, members of the professional press, ask the Sixth District incumbent where she is on this issue - the big agriculture issue and how it impacts prices at the grocery store.
