Rhonda is running. You can tell by the incisive quality of one of her most recent public quotes.

In Anoka County's visions and revisions re the wheelage tax, this reported:

Board Chairwoman Rhonda Sivarajah said the county will keep transportation spending a priority despite the potential loss of revenue.

"We typically spend $8 million a year on maintenance, and that will absolutely continue," she said.

That one should be added to anyone's rewrite of Kennedy's Profiles in Courage. Where's the Grover Norquist shrink-the-beast Krinkie on this question? Anti-tax, hence anti-roads? Fence straddle time? Emmer too?

___________UPDATE___________
The tax is gone. PiPress reports who voted how. It is great to see the Republicans being a pack of Grover Norquist imitators. They can save taxpayers even more by turning down their salaries.

Would turning down the salaries pass, 5-2? What are the odds on that?
