I bet USA Today did not know Minneapolis has closed many of the libraries
50% of the time to plum the downtown library nor are a lot of people in the

Planetarium while the neighborhoods can't get books on Saturdays. This is
true dismantlement of equality. Pretty soon, we... can be like Texas!
That's Republican Texas. And Republicans in MN State government (the leg and the governor) have cut aid to Minneapolis, thus forcing the reduced hours.
If you want your libraries back, elect Democrats. Pass it on.
