According to the statement, the Senate Republican Caucus will be not be supporting the Republican-endorsed candidate, Representative Mark Olson, in the primary election in SD 16. The Senate Republican Caucus will instead be supporting Allison Krueger. Should Olson win the election, Olson will “not be welcomed as a member” of the Senate Republican Caucus.
Total crap.
The GOP has always supported Rep. Mark Olson's one-man-wrecking-crew and they continued to do so in the House last year even as they claimed they had shunned him. This is what the politicos call "plausible deniability.
Over the last few years, too many Republican office holders, especially in Washington, were given a free pass for personal misconduct because they “voted right.” We could all recite the names. Well, it’s time we go back to holding people accountable.
But, Brodkorb won't be holding Olson accountable... not really. Brodkorb will only hold Rep. Mark Olson accountable for what has been reported in the media. Even though he doesn't support Olson's PRT boondoggle, Brodkorb doesn't include it in his list of Rep. Mark Olson's misdeeds.
Brodkorb has criticized Democrats for promoting bicycling as a mode of transportation (an efficient and popular mode of transportation), but remains mum about the totally phony concept that Rep. Mark Olson and other Republicans continue to support. There is very likely that Olson (and other GOP Pod People) were aware how bogus the Pods were even as he lobbied for the passage of his legislation back in 2004-05... legislation that would have permitted millions of taxpayer dollars to be wasted on a test track for an infeasible concept with a thirty year record of failure.
Note to Michael Brodkorb; Conspiring to rip off the goverment is a crime.
