Thank you Andy for your very good point. However, I point that issue out in rebut to the comments I got pointing a finger at the state house, which really didn't have a role in this issue. Of course, I'm sure that if it had been a Republican that had committed this "sin against the people" it woul

Once again, trying make a human and environmental quality issue a partisan one. No party, no ideology is operating here. It's where people stand on protecting the public health, not where they caucus. It was a very bad move, party or no party. And Minneapolis will pay for kowtowing to the money t
