People who may have not liked him for Congress might see him as a good fit for Senate District 48. I believe his home is there, and the seat's held by another in the consulting business whose firm has just been given a contract by City of Ramsey, in Anoka County, where I live. Jungbauer is much like Bachmann. More personable but equally into the "Intelligent Design should be taught in Minnesota as if it were science" line of belief. I don't know the rules, but if the campaign funds on hand from the Tinklenberg Congressional attempt can be directly deployed in seeking a State office, he should consider going for it. Mike Starr, DFL candidate in District 48 last cycle who came close to unseating Jungbauer might contest a Tinklenberg DFL run, but it would not be fatal to the party if they did bump heads. It would permit Tinklenberg to advocate his transportation goals from the legislative seat, were he to seek and attain it. He would have to juggle his business and legislative affairs were he to seek and attain. Jungbauer is doing that now, with all the consequent problems if there is any awkward or questionable appearance to any of his dealings; to the contracts his firm attains and the procedures under which they are promoted and handled - with many watching the next legislative capital spending session to see if correlations exist between locales he contracts with, and legislation he advances. One of my great fears is City of Ramsey taxpayers will be saddled at some point with a "Port Authority." With no "Port" but with a will to seek authority to impose the discretionary taxations Port Authority authorization entails. It's a blank check kind of thing, and if consultancy reports suggest that, and then legislation is proposed, the existing citizens of Ramsey could be wrongly disadvantaged.
