Great Story! Keep up the excellent work.

By that logic, I guess all references to Washington and Jefferson should be removed from public places, they were slaveholders after all. Benjamin Franklin had several mistresses himself, should we remove all references of him? Why hasn't the Nobel Prize been stripped from Dr. James Watson, or his honorary degrees from Harvard etc.?

Each individual has faults. Yes, some of them more extreme than others. I would counter, Ms. Gray, that we should "take the halo off" of every public...

Fair enough.

"But nearby McMansion owners can enjoy their tax non-hike."

Or the U can enjoy its necessary football stadium, or orchestra hall can enjoy the 14 million it wants from the state for a "facelift"

DBra, I think J-Jo's comments in the MN-Po are a bit oversensitive, if the nickname "T-Paw" was a problem for Governor Pawlenty, I don't think the Guv would have the nickname so prominently displayed on his twitter page, in impact font, nonetheless.

Jay,
I'd comment on how I would bet, but I don't want the Minnesota Department of Public Safety to break my door down and arrest me. Talking about betting on this post could be construed as "internet gambling"

Bernice, I respect your opinion, but I do want to point you to the Strib breakdowns of the current proposals: http://www.startribune.com/politics/state/43399912.html?elr=KArksUUUU

Thomas,
Interesting comments. I did, intentionally leave out other questionable posts by Aaron as not to beat a dead horse. I found his post on Ron Carey (http://mnpublius.com/2009/02/carey-having-his-wages-garnished-for-child-...) to be a perfect example of what little grounding he stakes his reputation...

Just a comment on Aaron's comments. His comments trouble me because I believe it is indicative of a deeper problem with politics. He proudly provides a link to his post about the database leak. When I checked out his post, I see he provided his audience with a link where people could learn how to access the infamous database (...
