It is Tuesday once again, and you know what that means!! Yes, it is the flip-flop of the week.
Here it is:
Mike Hatch Flip-Flops On Arne Carlson's Record Supporting The University of Minnesota
1994 Campaign: Hatch Attacked Arne Carlson For Ignoring Problems At The University of Minnesota. "[Hatch] was critical of Carlson for endorsing a $759 million state plan to help Northwest Airlines and equally critical that Carlson has not gotten involved in investigations of financial and research scandals surrounding the University of Minnesota Medical School. 'If the governor can use budgetary and personal persuasion to get involved in a private company like Northwest Airlines, the governor certainly can do the same at the university,' said Hatch." (Robert Whereatt, "Ex-DFL Party Chair Mike Hatch Says He Will Run For Governor," Star Tribune, November 15, 1993)
2006 Campaign: Hatch Lavished Praise On Arne Carlson For Bleeding "Maroon And Gold." "Governor Carlson also used high quality education to bootstrap himself up to climb the ladder of economic opportunity. Governor Carlson proudly wore the maroon and gold as governor and he still bleeds maroon and gold today." (Mike Hatch Acceptance Speech At 2006 DFL Convention, Minnesota Public Radio Website, , Accessed June 13, 2006)
