Finally responding to the widening impact of skyrocketing energy costs on Minnesota businesses and commuters, Senator Norm Coleman is traveling to Rochester on Wednesday, July 2nd to discuss his plan to address the soaring costs of gas and energy. Local union members and activists plan to be there to let him know how rising gas prices are affecting their families.

Like other union members across the country Click HERE , we will gather in front of the event to demand an economic plan that helps families beset by these rising costs. We will call attention to Sen. Coleman's record on tax breaks for oil and gas companies See Related Article and ask that he change course and look out for workers, not the lobbyists who fund and run his campaign.
