Re: [Mpls] 72 percent support bar/restaurant smoking ban

Correction from my earlier post, the Hennepin County Medical Society's poll surveyed 600 people, not 800. Having just watched that travesty of a basketball game last night, I think I got my numbers mixed up with the number of times KG got fouled with no whistle... Even so, 600 for a population

Re: [Mpls] drinking at the capital

[Mpls] Smoking Ban Poll

[Mpls] Council should leave McManus alone

[Mpls] I agree, let the chief do his job

I read with some dread that some members of the city council want to supervise the chief of police. Great, they can bring action in that department to a grinding halt through committee meetings, bureacracy and politicizing the police department even more than it has been. Let McManus do his

[Mpls] Fox News report on Capitol drinking (Journalism Judgment Impaired)

Hello Minneapolis Folks, Below is a portion of an article that was printed in the Pioneer Press today. Democrats and Republicans have done the same over the years and Fox only provided a partisan view of the drinking practice, which tells us as much about their integrity as the people they
