Some local letter-writers seems to comprehend the endgame of the ideological hack that now represents me in Congress:
At least give U.S. Rep.-elect Chip Cravaack credit for being honest. He made it pretty clear during the campaign that he was more interested in pursuing an ideological agenda than representing the needs and interests of Northeastern Minnesota. And he wasted no time in fulfilling this promise. Within 24 hours of winning his seat in Congress, Cravaack announced his opposition to such important local projects as the new terminal at the Duluth International Airport and the cross-town recreational trail (“Cravaack would put brakes on train and trails,” Nov. 4).
Cravaack may be fine with seeing our federal transportation dollars spent elsewhere, but personally I’d like to see some of our tax dollars spent here in Duluth. I also find it interesting that the only transportation project he deemed worthy of his support is near Sandstone in the southern part of the district.
We need to start looking for a new congressional representative now. And this time, let’s make sure we choose someone who actually is interested in representing us.

In case you're wondering, I don't use the term 'ideological hack' as one of endearment...
