*/Minnesota may be a blue state, edging ever closer to red status, but
as the September 13 primary approaches, Twin Cities voters will be
seeing Green. This year Green Party Minnesota has endorsed two
candidates for mayor: Farheen Hakeem in Minneapolis and Elizabeth
Dickinson in St. Paul. Both women are first-time mayoral candidates and
long-time social advocates. Most importantly, both are true idealists
determined to challenge the status quo and give a pair of Democratic
candidates—who are themselves locked in a too-close-to-call race—a fight
for the keys to the cities.

“We should have gotten an immediate call and the company should have
gotten a contractor to start immediate cleanup,” said Steve Lee at the
Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) about the incident that took
place July 23. On that day, Bituminous Roadways spilled an estimated 500
to 600 gallons of asphalt emulsion onto a parking lot surface in South
Minneapolis, with 200-300 gallons flowing down the storm sewer leading
to the Mississippi River. The company failed to report the incident.
