In an interview after the gathering, Dayton didn't offer specific strategies for fostering competition.
He could place a call to his compatriot at St. Louis and ask how things are going there. I'm sure he's not busy.
The thing is, if Delta was not in MSP, who would be? What would become of the shopping Mall? Don't get me wrong, it is a beautiful city with a few nice people, but it is not exactly Disney World this time of year.
Seems like a big employer with operations that make your paycheck would be more appreciated by a local politician. Wonder how many Delta employees vote in the area?
