My wife and I did attend the Itasca County Fair yesterday and I noticed that the County Democrats booth had various banners and pamphlets with his name on them so I stopped and asked the lady when they were going to be holding the special election to fill the vacancy due to his passing away. She had a puzzled look on her face and asked me what caused me to think that he had died. I told her that since I had not received any replies to my numerous e-mails and letters I had assumed that he had died. She attempted to apologize and said that he should have answered my communications. She said he was scheduled to be at the booth between 3:00 and 6:00 PM if we were still there I should stop back, which I did about 5:15 P.M. He had not showed up! I told the woman at the booth that his failure to put in appearance sort of reaffirmed my concerns regarding his death!
Shortly before noon today while I was out side working my wife received a call supposedly from Sen. Saxhaug asking to speak with me. She informed him that I was working out side and was not available at the time, but that I would be in most of the afternoon. I failed to receive a call back this afternoon. Unfortunately I am beginning to believe that I will need to write a letter to the editor seeking information regarding the election to fill the Senate Seat left vacant by his passing.
I realize that stirring the pot can be a "Dirty Job", but somebody has to do it and I am well experienced in doing dirty jobs!
