Argus Leader reporter Patrick Lalley writes about DM&E on the new Argus blog:
The media wars over the DM&E Railroad’s plans to haul coal across South Dakota and Minnesota are heating up. The Prostrollo General Motors dealership in Huron is using its radio advertising to promote the approval of the railroad’s expansion plans.
The radio ad that I heard was a call to arms for people to rise up against the forces in Rochester - read Bill Janklow and Tom Daschle - who are working to defeat the railroad’s plans.
Meanwhile, I’ve seen a video produced by the Mayo Clinic folks featuring Tom Daschle that lays out the what they see as the potential dangers to the famed clinic from the DM&E running a couple dozen trains each through Rochester.
Not sure where this approximately five minute video will show up but they didn’t spend the money on it just to show it cocktail parties.
More coming on this issue as things really start to heat up.
