Re: Not too busy are ya....................

While I so enjoy being chided by snotty liberals who disagree with my opinion, I do have to ask: where, in your world, does the accountability lie then??? Certainly the students can't be held accountable; they're just children! And the teachers? Impossible. Too under paid! The School District

If we are going to make the school systems "more accountable" then we should compare apples to apples and oranges to oranges. Comparing Edina to any inner city school should be done on the basis of how well Edina does in educating their South East Asian students to Minneapolis South East Asian st

Re: Ramp meters sucking the life out of Mpls?

It's not the meters that encourage sprawl and subsidize exurban development, it's the road system itself and the continuing belief that the solution to traffic congestion is more roads and wider freeways. The state legislature needs to understand smart growth and spend transportation dollars accor
