Gene Pelowski – one of the few DFL house members in a relatively rural area, from HD26A, which is the very southeast corner of Minnesota – is retiring from office.
And he’s having second thoughts about the DFL’s trifecta:
On the one hand, I applaud, and approve.
On the other – where was all this independence over the past two legislative sessions?
I get it – the DFL had a four vote majority, so being a single dissident would have no effect other than getting him mau-maued by his own caucus.
One hopes the GOP can pick this distsrict up.
What would really be interesting would be for Pelowski to tell exactly what means the state’s native terrorist group used to keep him in line.
