The Strib is usually pretty diligent, if not necessarily artful, about clothing its appeals to its institutional self-interest – but as they show in Tuesday’s editorial, they’re not above the naked appeals to self-interest, either:

Let’s see. Everyone had to get their proposals in fast because the Governor said so. None of the proposals is financially viable. I don’t suppose that the issue will just die now.
