Posted on 01/31/13 at 08:45 pm in response to Budget 101: A graphic primer to Dayton's budget proposal

I hope this can be widely distributed - it is so easy for the lay reader to read and understand.

I will print it on the backs of already used paper!

Posted on 06/04/12 at 03:47 pm in response to Former Congressman Rick Nolan, in comeback bid, revs up DFL convention crowd

I was at the convention. Nolan's speech - both in content and delivery - was in the Wellstone tradition! Maybe his time as come and gone, but younger candidates could do well to aspire to his integrity and candor - not to mention his oratorical skill!

Thanks for this account. I am a delegate, and couldn't it up to St. Paul Sunday so am hungry for information.

Is anyone at Minnpost looking into what other ALEC initiatives have been introduced here in Minnesota?

I call it much needed comic relief!

Must be a slow news day!

Posted on 06/23/10 at 09:55 pm in response to Despite trailing in the polls, Matt Entenza exudes confidence that he's reaching DFL primary voters

Yes, Entenza is "reaching" this primary voter - a glossy large campaign piece is in my mailbox daily.

Better yet, how about a podcast so those of us in rural MN who don't get KFAN can hear the show?

Posted on 11/04/09 at 11:28 pm in response to Speaking of pay: Just how much do MPR's top national hosts make?

As an MPR junkie - I never gave much thought to salaries. I wonder how much people like Cathy Wurzer and Kerri Miller who on air every weekday make. Is their salary included in the 43a figure, I wonder?

If it takes that kind of money to produce the outstanding public radio station is, I guess I can accept it. It sure makes my monthly pledge look paltry, and it explains the increasing number of "brought to you by . . . " announcements.

I say the earlier the better!
