Blasted!

And if it weren't for those meddling rural newspapers I would have gotten away with it!

According to the West Central Tribune, Gubernatorial Candid..., er, Saint Paul Mayor Christopher Coleman visited West Central Minnesota to "rally the troops."  Someone should tell the Mayor that the Governor already called a special session and LGA was not on the agenda even though his party controls both the House and Senate.

And then he went to Benson, where he got to see the new Turkey Burner.  You may think it sounds like a replacement for a hot dog, but its a biomass facility that burns turkey poop.  Remember, Chris Coleman the City Council Member was very supportive of subjecting his constituents to being the focus of an experiment known as "America's First Urban Ethanol Plant."  Today is the real event, an invitation only ribbon cutting, to which Saint Paul's Mayor was apparently not invited.

Does Mayor Coleman have his sights set on bringing a biomass burner to Rock-Tenn?

SPicy says, not a chance.  There is no way that even Chris Coleman would be so stupid as to propose a dung burner as the solution for Rock-Tenn.  So all you NAB's that sent SPicy messages yesterday, don't sweat it, you've got nothing to worry about. Or do you?

It is SPicy's conclusion that the Mayor is going to run for Governor, and he's trying to trick the rural Mayors into saying nice things about him.

Mayor Coleman please just announce and if you're using the City's car to make your campaign stops, quit it now.  After all, that Gaertner Campaign really seems to be picking up steam.
