[Mpls] Wildlife in Minneapolis

At about 8:00 this morning I stopped my car next to a large lifeless oppossum in 4th Avenue North about one block from my house. Hardly ever see oppossums, especially in Minneapolis. Had places to go and things to do, so couldn't linger, and drove on. On my way back home, at around 2:00 in the

Re: [Mpls] Public Art: who needs it?

Re: [Mpls] City DFL School Board Convention

Yes, I think it is the same Joe Erickson -- someone said in their speech about him that "Joe has spent his career teaching teachers at Augsburg". And you probably recognize Colleen Moriarty from her position as Communications Director during Sharon Sayles Belton's last term as Mayor --

Re: [Mpls] City DFL School Board Convention

Is Joseph Erickson the individual who teaches in the education department at Augsburg and sought DFL endorsement last year but did not get endorsed? Also could someone give a brief description of Colleen Moriarty? The name sounds so familiar but I'm drawing a blank. David Strand Loring Park --

Re: [Mpls] Statues to be built, Activist Hall of Fame

Thank you Earl! I would just like to add that Mpls was the first jurisdiction to protect trans people from discrimination 26(nearly 27) years ago. It was many years before another jurisdiction did the same. Minnesota became the first state to protect trans people from discrimination in 1993 and

Re: [Mpls] What's on the Minneapolis Ballot - Nonpartisian Seats - Oh my!

  You are correct partisan politics should not control the futures of our children. At the very least politics should be ruled out of education. Only quality controls and INDIVIDUAL commitment to those standards should be a consideration.    I think the problem with education today is

[Mpls] What's on the Minneapolis Ballot - Nonpartisian Seats - Oh my!

Minneapolis School Board Candidates Blast me for these thoughts!   Somehow education it is a different issue for me than city council, or mayor (nonpartisan seats). Never should school board elections be complicated by party endorsement. What do other readers think?  Here my opinions. In review
