Woodard and DeKruif Misrepresented Themselves

Rep. Kelby Woodard and Sen. Al DeKruif haven't delivered on promises made during campaigning.

So, knock knock. Who's there?

When Kelby Woodard and Al DeKruif ran for state representative and senator for this district, they promised jobs, jobs, jobs. Now I'm not going to call them liars, but there's that old saying: actions speak louder than words.

If you tell me you're Santa Claus, and I let you in the house, then I notice that all the presents are missing from under the tree, I might reasonably surmise that you misrepresented who you were! In fact, you are the Grinch in Santa's clothing.

This "all cuts" budget you are proposing is going to put thousands more people OUT OF WORK! It also will mean $1 million in cuts to Northfield, laying off police officers and raising our property taxes by 12 percent. Nearly $300,000 in cuts to area schools, laying off teachers and increasing class sizes. All this so the richest 2 percent of Minnesotans can avoid paying their fair share.

Contact Kelby Woodard at 651-296-7065 and Al DeKruif at 651-296-1279 and let them know what you think of this. They are sworn to serve the good of all the citizens of Minnesota, not just the richest 2 percent!
