Daschle & DME

This Associated Press story reports on Tom Daschle's efforts to help the Mayo Clinic kill the expansion plans of the South Dakota railroad DME.  Both Tim Johnson and Stephanie Herseth are supporting the railroad's plans, which will amount to the biggest project in South Dakota's history.  But Daschle is being paid to serve on the Mayo Clinic's board, so the benefits to South Dakota do not matter to him.  He has a Presidential campaign to plan.
