Thanks for pointin...Katie, I stand corrected then. Thanks for pointing out what he was testifying about. <BR/><BR/>The original news source I took the photo and story from was obviously incorrect, because it stated he was there talking about the bridge collapse. I wouldn't have made such a claim on my own.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for reading the post and I'm going to remove the comment about the "disrespect" in the posting itself.<BR/><BR/>GeoffGeoff Elliotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07861071117040254491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3831255577594231117.post-25542949314418397292008-06-13T17:11:00.000-04:002008-06-13T17:11:00.000-04:00The first day of the Minnesota legislative session...The first day of the Minnesota legislative session happened to coincide with Abraham Lincoln's birthday. <BR/><BR/>As Lincoln once said, "We cannot escape the responsibility of tomorrow by evading it today." Lincoln was a strong supporter of the transcontinental railroad and investing in our nation's infrastructure. Dave Van Hattum and a dedicated group of community advocates invoked Lincoln's memory to support investing in our state's transportation infrastructure. <BR/><BR/>In short, Dave was at the Minnesota state capitol testifying in support of additional funding for transportation in Minnesota, not about the bridge collapse. <BR/><BR/>Check out these pictures of other Abes at the Capitol that day: http://www.flickr.com/photos/tlcminnesota<BR/><BR/>In any case, no disrespect intended!Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16923944767376920568noreply@blogger.com
