Mandernach Falls On Sword

Does anyone seriously think that the resignation of Minnesota Commissioner of Health, Dianne Mandernach, wasn't timed to take some heat off of Molnau and Pawlenty over the scandalous negligence surrounding the bridge collapse? It's just interesting how Mandernach's withholding of information critical to public health parallels Pawlenty's and Molnau's failure to warn the public of the imminent 35W bridge collapse being discussed by state officials a year before it happened.
