In local campaigns, it's time for some debates; on TV and on radio.
David Allan Pundt, our Republican endorsed candidate for House Seat District 12A, will face off against current DFLer John Ward on radio station 3Wi (95.9 fm locally) Wednesday, September 3rd at 9:00 a.m.
It should be quite interesting and entertaining to hear Mr. Ward squirm in his chair when pushed about the out- of- control spending preferred - and voted upon- by the DFL majority in St. Paul.
For instance, Ward's support of the DFLiberal Gas Tax Bill increase during some of the most trying economic times we have seen in quite a while is difficult to justify. He claims the money is for "roads and bridges" but forgets to mention the loads of cash going to light rail.
Yessir, we get to bail out, then re- fund, an amusement ride for the Twin Cities.
Just what Crow Wing County residents need......
Then there's the issue of legislators putting another constitutional amendment on the ballot to allow themselves to raise their pay, their per Diem, AND pay themselves $1200 a month ALL YEAR LONG for their housing subsidies! Not bad for a 3- 4 month per year job. (Sarcasm intended.)
If we, as a voters, pass this amendment, the DFL won't ever have to ask us for the money again. It will become automatic, by law!
We, as voters, MUST vote this amendment down in November, along with the other amendment, the Dedicated Funding for Conservation and the Arts.
Both are nothing but DFL reasons to stay in your wallet -by law- for ever and ever.
I can't wait to hear John Ward try to mumble out of this!
TUNE IN 9/3/08 9:00 a.m. on 95.9 fm, 3Wi radio!
More debate info to come!

I will look forward to listening to the debate today. Mr Ward needs to sell the case that it is ok to have year round housing when only needed for a few months. He needs to justify why he does not need to show proof of receipts for his purchases that we pay for, and why he is opposed to showing his expenses on the Internet.
Mr Ward may be one of the nicest men around, but he does not care if my taxes go up to fund something he finds "worthy." If we Minnesotans thought this years session produced bad results....just wait for the upcoming sessions. Let's support David Allan Pundt, a man who does not believe our pocketbooks are at his disposal for any whim.
