Struggling economy craves more like Cravaack (Duluth paper turns on Oberstar)

There’s no denying the enormous, life-changing and positive impacts U.S. Rep. Jim Oberstar has had on Northeastern Minnesota. From rescuing Eveleth Taconite to landing Cirrus Aviation for Duluth to making safe the death trap that was Minnesota Highway 8 to getting the Bong Bridge built, his list of achievements practically stretch the length of the massive, 18-county 8th Congressional District, where Oberstar has served admirably as representative since 1974.

His opponent, on the other hand, Republican Chip Cravaack, represents what Congress, including Minnesota’s 8th Congressional District, needs at this critical crossroads in American history. A pro-business, fiscally conservative, former Navy captain, with a master’s degree in education, Cravaack has smarts. He is articulate, reasoned and composed. More critically, he has specific and promising strategies to pull the nation out of its financial funk.

You are right. I do not want to be around major urban areas when they get the word that the goodies are gone and they are not getting anymore.

...making safe the death trap that was Minnesota Highway 8...

I live near Highway 8 and all that has been done is put up a sign that says "Turn on your lights." It is still a death trap. There was a fatal crash on 8 less than 2 months ago.
