When the Indians owned the land, it was probably about deer, elk, moose, and fish. Let's deal with what's out there, give a boolean interpretation, just for the whoop-de-doo of it. 1982 is gone and it's not coming back.

It's time to drop it or go knock on Johnson's door and tell him, face to face and leave us out of it.. Johnson says he is not a lobbyist and you're the only person with an interest in calling him a liar on that point. I do know that this is a discussion about a road. It isn't about David Piehl or the Healy block.. It's about the Southside, commerce, jobs, economic viability, and all that jazz.
