Meet John Doe
The stock market is up, some say the recession is over, but the rest of the news is pretty bleak. What a treat to see America at its best Saturday morning (SD 45), meeting Jeff Wiita, GOP candidate for State Auditor. He's a CPA who's done considerable work in the public sector but is otherwise new to politics.
A fine family man as Lawrence Welk would say, here's a man who wants to be State Auditor, and knows what he wants to do when he gets there. Assuming the DFL will stay with incumbent Rebecca Otto, he is at once the most qualified candidate for 2010. Besides sending power back to local government, his ideas should save the State money as well. What he doesn't want to do is use this as a stepping stone to Governor or other office.
How refreshing to our America democracy function like it's supposed to.
