First off, I like R.T. Rybak. He is one of the most approachable elected officials at any level I know. He is a genuinely nice guy, and I tend to like people that pursue and achieve their life long dreams. However, he is a guy that is wrong-minded when it comes to running a city. You still have a city that creates an oppressive tax burden on residents and businesses, continued crime problems, and an ever lowering of just about of the key city livability factors. He lacks the political skills to raise the city’s standing with the outstate political establishment, solve the business problems facing downtown, and tends to focus on “pie in the sky” initiatives that just cost a ton of non-existing city money.
Now there is talk about him running from Governor. Usually one would have a positive record to run on in order to make a case for running for higher office. Try solving some problems that take real leadership. How about taking the lead on real education reform? How about improving the business environment? How about making Minneapolis a more affordable place to live? That would be by real means, not artificially created ones.
What are your motives there R.T.? We could have been looking at R.T for US Senate right now. There as a lot of talk about that about a year or so ago. Now we are talking Governor, why? Show me the real leadership!!
