John Tuma can see and decipher things in ways others cannot.
While bird watching with his daughter, he spots wildlife others might not see.
He can disassemble parts of legal documents in ways others might not have thought to.
These unique skills — which Tuma credits to a learning disability — are what those closest to him believe have made him successful in his careers as a lawyer, a state representative and a lobbyist. Now, those abilities should benefit him in his new position as a member of the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission.
