Dennis
Oh please. You are, of course, entitled to your opinion, but judging from the total lack of response to your comment, I'd guess the other readers are, like me, stunned by the lack of original thinking contributing to a solution here. Check the other MinnPost article soliciting comments on the shutdown for some nuanced response and creative thinking on how to break the impasse.

Governor Dayton may not have the personal experience, but he has more heart for the trials of...

Thank you, Cynthia for giving me something to be thankful for in this impending shutdown. Although it will be difficult for many, we don't need to fear looting or mayhem in the streets. I feel badly that these immigrants are impacted emotionally by this situation; their lot is hard enough. Thanks for an angle that I had not considered.

Eric, don't Governor Dayton and Attorney General Swanson talk to each other before they embark on such different legal strategies? Who is Swanson's client in this case? And why does it seem as though they have not communicated at all?

thank you so much for this reporting, Beth and keep it up. We need to drag all this out in the light of day.

I want to add: thank you! really really important work. The "glamour" of investigative reporting often comes from endless number-crunching and that could not be more obvious here. Looking forward to the rest of the series.

lovely. the making of a life-long learner. with an extra dollop of humility. Welcome to MinnPost.

Posted on 09/24/10 at 11:23 am in response to The Homer Hanky creation story

I had lunch with Terrie maybe two days after she received the approval to spend $100,000, and she told me all about it. Although Tim's account added new details, Terrie's account to me was substantially the same. What was especially striking is that she articulated this vision of the stadium being a sea of white waving hankies when the team did well, and that couldn't have been more prophetic. And I was also one of the folks that volunteered to sell them for a $1 a piece, on the street...

the crabby people (those of us who do not like the Fair) stay home and enjoy the empty city (as long as you stay away from the Snelling Ave exit off 94). So it all works out perfectly. Glad you had a good time, Derek.

Catching up on this article and discussion a bit late. Thank you very much for a most interesting and mostly civil dialogue. Not a single post by Mr. Swift - what a relief!
