Yes - here's the Strib story on it: http://www.startribune.com/stories/462/3663765.html It wasn't Benanav's resolution that was passed, but even so, St. Paul has now joined such liberal hotbeds as Milwaukee, Detroit, Chicago, Atlanta and Philadelphia in passing a resolution. The article also notes that the states of Maine and Hawaii have passed resolutions. Now that we've seen the governor's budget proposal, worries of Republican backlash at the Capitol no longer washes as an excuse for Minneapolis City Council. We're gonna get screwed either way so we might as well let our conscience dictate our actions rather than our fears. Mark Snyder Windom Park TEMPORARY REMINDER: 1.
