I stand behind my point about Rybak and media coverage, but it's not on-point addressing Eva's observation. Sorry.

I'm glad the Mayor posted about the Planetarium. The talking points on the subject are valuable. I still wonder about his priorities though since he gets quoted in the Strib supporting Pawlenty's stadium boondoggle.Speaking as a professional, I don't think this is Rybak's fault. The press focuses FAR more on the stadium than the Planetarium. It may not be that the Mayor is speaking out less, but that the reporters are reporting it less.
From a pure news judgment perspective, more people care about the stadium and the governor and sports columnists keep it hot. Sadly, there are no astronomy correspondents in town, and no one to threaten to move Mars to another solar system if Minnesotans won't pony up.
