I have alot of respect for Jonathan Palmer and wish him well on his school
board race.  I think it's odd that he chose Peter McLaughlin to be one of
his co-chairs.  Lately McLaughlin has been the kiss of death for
candidates.  He co-chaired SSB's pathetic campaign.  He also was personally
knocking on doors for Vicki Brock.  

I've been trying to call McLaughlin's office to find out why he helped Art
Erickson get a $500,000 loan from the County for Urban Ventures -- and his
office still hasn't called me back on that one.  Jesse Ventura should be
thanked for vetoing the Colin Powell Youth Center (another Art Erickson
boondoggle).  I didn't appreciate some of Jesse's vetoes of good University
of Minnesota Projects and the Planetarium.  I can't argue with him too much
about the Guthrie as I've said before.
