Posted on 05/13/13 at 11:06 am in response to Bottineau LRT: Tiny step closer — but nowhere near a done deal

Mayor Shep Harris and council members Mike Freiberg (now House Representative) and Joannie Clausen did exactly the right thing when voting for the D-1 route. Golden Valley is a "transit poor" first ring suburb that has been all but left out of the transit mix. The result has been that Golden Valley has been stagnated in term of economic development and a declining population growth. Almost all new business development has been limited to the 394 corridor, an already jammed and outdated...

Posted on 05/03/13 at 11:43 am in response to Vänskä threatens to resign if Orchestra lockout lingers

management just doesn't know it. I've said it before and I'll say it again, the strike will be over close to the time the newly re-modeled Orchestra Hall is finished. It kills two birds with one stone: No paying out for the convention center for space and better yet, no paying salaries to production people - the musicans. Ahhh...capitalism as we know it. British management has ruined other orchestras world-wide, why would we be any different?

I disagree with your comments that Lambert posts too much about gun accidents. The NRA claims they almost don't exist. The reality is guns are dangerous and are not adequately regulated in this country. Until they are...(and by regulation I mean licensed, back ground checks, limited ammo and remove all automatic weapons from civilians hands)... pointing out the dangers of these implements of war is not unwarranted. I am not anti-guns. I do think we've got far too many of them and they often...

Treat others the way you want to be treated and many of this world's problems will evaporate. Thank you for your continued and visible support. Perhaps Senjem might get it? Perhaps.

Posted on 04/24/13 at 12:00 pm in response to Catholic Church favors anti-bullying efforts — just not so-called 'Safe and Supportive Schools Act'

Never mind that children are harassed, beaten, taunted and commit suicide because they are being bullied for being "different" and a lot of that "difference" is that they are gay, lesbian or trans-gender.

But let us not forget that the Catholic Church has labeled them based on their catechism, which states:

“Basing itself on Sacred Scripture, which presents homosexual acts as acts of grave depravity, tradition has always declared that ‘homosexual acts are intrinsically...

"Crystal Crocker, director of grassroots development and messaging for Minnesota for Marriage, said, "We didn't pick this battle," but we have to fight it. " - - - Oh, that's right, I forgot. The gays and lesbians of Minnesota fought to get the anti-marriage amendment on last year's ballot. How could I be so forgetful?

they get a "Marriage License" from the state. That's why we want to get married and not have a "civil union." Once we get our "marriage license," we can go to the "place of worship" (or not) and have a ceremony declaring our commitment and love in front of our friends and family. I, btw, will have my marriage at the St. Mark's Episcopal Cathedral. I'm just wonder who's being stubborn and misinformed?

I never watch it, preferring 'CCO or KARE for my local TV news fix.

the Republicans are changing. Look at the votes. They are not.

...that when art's palaces go into a re-modeling mode, other expenses, such as employees, the people that make the arts happen, suffer? Perhaps it's management's technique for bringing out the best in our artists...making them suffer. Did it work for van Gogh? He ended up with a bullet through the head. Perhaps management needs to re-think its "employee relationship" strategy, or as Ms. Espeland notes...when the hall is finished, will anyone show up? Good question.
