The Governor's office has been hosting konference kalls every kouple
of days, for Lt. Governor Patty Judge to update Legislators on the
flood situation across the state. Yesterday Sen. Wally Horn
interrupted Patty by screaming, "These are good loyal Democrats, and
they need our help." He repeated that statement several time during
the call, but only the first time did he interrupt the Lt. Governor to
say it. Horn's Senate District kovers the downtown and the area to the
south of the Cedar River. I understand that this is a difficult time,
heck yesterday we were all shocked to see a picture of a state trooper
with his sidearm drawn and aimed at the occupant of a pickup.
Apparently the man wanted to get his pets from his flood ravaged home.
This is a time for people like Senator Horn to step up and provide
leadership.
