Party politics generates lame endorsements with lame reasons and lame

elected-wannabe DFLer not to endorse whoever the power-brokers at the top
foist upon them. Kow-tow or find the party machinery arrayed against you
next election.

The plans for an interim Central Library have not yet been
finalized, but we
We had an event to publicize the need to replace the downtown library. We
hired a company to put up some posters on the event. Unbeknown to us, they
posted some of them in illegal locations. The next morning, I had a call
