Well we also better get MnDot to change all the street signs in and around that area too then. Because all the people you listed also drive cars in and around Minneapolis. What I would be for is paper pocket maps in different lanaguages. The question of enforcement of fare is still in my mind.

Strange, not only do I have my regular slew of lawnsigns, so do all my neighbors. Actually, we've got several new houses with signs this year. I guess Portland ave is always a hotbed of visual activism. On the assumption that campaigns aren't using volunteers, I spent a few hours last weekend lit

Hey, Doug Mann. You're right. The SW Journal DOES do a nice job with candidate profiles. I'm quite sure we'll never see anything even close to this for schoolboard candidates in the Strib or even any of the free tabloids. I now have a better read of what's on your mind. I am more and more
