<< Donna Cassutt, associate chairwoman of the DFL Party, questioned Wergin's qualifications for the post and said she's shocked Wergin hasn't given much thought to such a highly publicized and controversial issue. >>

All Cassutt needs to know is that environmentalists oppose it. Easy decision. Wergin actually takes her job seriously.

At the hearing, Commissioner Koppendrayer publicly stated that he didn't care abourt the "record" (evidence which showed no need for the coal plant), he supported it because "I know what's right".

He didn't see the need to "study" the issue. Hopefully his younger sister will not "reflect" his views.

The sooner we reject this old fashioned project, the sooner our region can move forward with modern energy methods.

Leroy was a puppet of the incumbent monopolists, just like Pawlenty.

Such as what??? WIND???

The fact is that the fuel cost of electricity from coal costs less than half that of any other fuel, excepting nuclear and hydro.
