What They Said

“If you want internet in Sleepy Eye, MN, Klobuchar pushes a bill to send a pot of money to the state, who determine which places are worthy of such help. This is the Klobuchar way: grow the government. It takes years for government solutions, if not decades.” — S.H. Jacobs on Amy Klobuchar, Lightening Up
