Just went to KMart's corporate website and saw their January closing list. The four Minnesota stores are in Maple Grove, Redwing, Shakopee, and St Paul. So, looks like I must have seen the Lake Street store mentioned in something highly unofficial. Funny. If they want Nicollet to be reopened, it would actually be CONVENIENT for that KMart to close. But it must serve a lot of people, so I guess remaining open is a very good thing, too.
Fiduciary controls: Funny to hear a U student talking about lack of accounting controls in a neighborhood program. I wonder if the U has YET discovered what it is spending all its money for. I'm a U alum, I give the U contributions, but I'm not sure I want the state anteing up more money until such time as the regents can force the administration to explain HOW the money is spent! Funny how so little has been written since the era of the big scandals when we learned the U had no real accounting system. At any rate, it is a lot easier to see what NRP money goes for. There aren't constant lobbying efforts for more money for unforeseen expenses. But there will always be those who think money could be better spent. The question is for what? Our venture capitalists simply don't want the money collected. But they can't find a place where it doesn't happen. I'm curious how much money they'd make leasing property in a rundown city that made no efforts to renovate.
