WHY WAS DEAN IN THE BLUEGRASS STATE?
According to WCCO's Esme Murphy, Senate Majority Leader Dean Johnson's staff gave conflicting stories as to why he was in Kentucky.
During last night's 10 p.m. news, Esme reported she was first told that Johnson was in Kentucky for National Guard duty. Johnson's staff then denied saying he was there for National Guard duty and instead said he was in Kentucky to attend an award ceremony for Hennepin County Sheriff Pat McGowen.
Finally, Esme reported she was then told by Johnson's staff that he was in Kentucky for both reasons.

I've heard from many reliable people that Dean was down in KY for the Sheriff McGowan event and then found out the public and media back home were all over him for not being around to negotiate (yet again). He then made a call to the National Guard in the area to set something up so he could use it as an excuse for his absence which, if true, is pretty insulting not only to Minnesotans, but to Guard members throughout the US.
This would certainly explain his staffs confliciting stories. I know Dean is close to Sheriff McGowan, but if Dean is truly in control in the DFL caucus, wouldn't it be a bit more appropriate for him to take his good buddy out to a congrats dinner after all the important state business at hand is done?
Dean Johnson is the Majority Leader of the Minnesota Senate. Just how stupid do you think he is?
Why don't you identify your "reliable people", whose reports are conflicting with the Minneapolis-St. Paul Star Tribune, a highly respectable newspaper that is much more credible than you are?
Why do you call him "Dean," as if you're on a first-name basis with Sen. Johnson?
Why is it not possible that his staff might be, shocking as though it may be, not be 100% clear on Sen. Johnson's reasons for being in Kentucky? Wouldn't that "certainly explain his staff's conflicting stories", despite their being right the first time and last time?

This made me laugh. Thank you for that.

The comment was mostly directed towards the first commenter, though there are questions that MDE could answer, too
