When I recently attended the Crow Wing Power Co-op picnic, who of all people did I encounter? Rep. Josh Heintzeman.

I along with a fellow outdoorsman wanted to engage in a little conversation about his and fellow Republicans decision to rob the Legacy Fund and place it in the general fund. But why mess up a nice event?

Do you realize how many Minnesota Deer Hunters banquets and Ducks Unlimited banquets it takes to generate this kind of money?

I usually split my ballot on election day, choosing candidates who will represent me in St. Paul. I made a mistake when I voted for this fellow, who places party politics over my state representation.

Whoever runs against Josh, I will ask that candidate their thoughts on local representation. Because your grievous mistake on this matter will defeat you in your next election attempt.
