Jennifer Schultz.

Jennifer Schultz is running for the 7A house seat and is endorsed by the DFL. It seems to me she has been very unclear on a couple of major issues facing Minnesota and that have a huge impact on Northern Minnesota.

The first is mining, if you go to her web site she says she is pro business but anti pollution.  That is great  so Jen what exactly does that mean?  People that claim to be close to her also say this is her position on mining and polymet. These same people have told she has not taken a hard position on polymet as of yet.  Well we are well into the election season you should have a position you are running on this issue.

Mining is to important  to Northern Minnesota to waffle on this subject.  I don't care what side she is on I just wish she would explain what pro business and anti pollution means and define where she is on polymet .

The second issues is the pipeline, I could not find anything on the web site about the issue so I send Jen and email.  I must say she has always been very fast in getting back to email questions and that is great in any person running for office so I must give her credit for that.  That said she says she is still gathering information about the matter and has not yet taken a stand one way or the other.  Now I can not and will not fault for wanting to learn more about the issue we should be doing this.  Here again however we are very late in the election and she has told a number of people what they want to hear.  She knocked on a friends door and they asked her about it and she asked them probing question to get a feel of where this person stood on the the issue.  This friend by the was for the pipeline.  She told them that she would support the pipeline because it is the best way to transport, and could have good economic impact for Minnesota.  Then tells another person I know that she is against it because of impact on the envorerment.

This is what we call flip flopping.  Where do you stand on the issue Jen?  Pick a side and tell everyone the same thing.

As far as her opponent Becky Hall it is hard to comment when she does not do much.
