Dettmers onstage with Bachmann at town hall meeting
Rep. Bob Dettmer, R-Forest Lake, and his wife Colleen were onstage with 6th District Congresswoman Michele Bachmann, R-Stillwater, at the congresswoman’s health care town hall meeting in Lake Elmo on Thursday (Aug. 27).
Dettmer served as moderator while Colleen Dettmer sang a patriotic song at the beginning of the meeting.
In asking for orderliness, Dettmer half-jokingly warned the audience that he been a longtime wrestling coach — no grappling took place though the town hall was lively.
After one gentleman, who thanked Bachmann for turning him into a DFL activist from a Reagan Republican, offered some caustic commentary, Dettmer critized the man for wearing an inappropriate teeshirt.
