Rep. Paul Kohls pass this bill. The mother and unborn child who were killed on HWY 5 in Victoria couple of years ago were killed by a first time DWI offender. The more we can protect people from drunk drivers the better, if the family of the drunk driver is effected too bad, it might stop their enabeling.

I was fascinated by your ghost story and now I want more. Anyways, I do believe that they do exist and every where we go they are there. I also experience paranormal things most often like hearing voices, seeing silhouttes of a white figure, and having goose bumps all the time, but have accepted it and just learned to live with it.
Maybe sometime I could join your team of ghost hunting for experience and adventure. Love the post and thanks for the lovely share. mesa locksmith

St. Paul (June 16, 2009) —

St. Paul (June 16, 2009) — The Minnesota DFL Party released the following statement from Associate Chair Donna Cassutt:

“This spring, the Legislature put forward a responsible, balanced budget that cut government spending and sought to raise permanent revenue to solve Minnesota’s financial crisis and revive our struggling economy. Legislators visited with Minnesotans all over the state to hear concerns and gather their input of how to best address this crisis and put Minnesotans back to work. But instead of working with the Legislature, the Governor — with the full support of Republican legislators — ignored their balanced budget and failed to negotiate honestly.

In short, Governor Pawlenty and the Republicans failed Minnesota — and today, Minnesota’s working families are paying the price of their failure. In slavish adherence to the same failed philosophy that drove America into recession — not to mention his own ambition — Pawlenty and the Republicans have embarked on the arrogant, reckless, and potentially illegal path of unallotment that will hurt hundreds of thousands of Minnesotans — and drive Minnesota’s economy even further into a hole.

In the middle of the deepest recession in three decades, it is unconscionable that Governor Pawlenty and the Republicans would cut Minnesotans’ police and fire protection, damage our hospitals, kick Minnesotans off healthcare, and further dim our children’s future rather than do their jobs and negotiate in good faith with the legislative majority.

The governor admits his cuts and deferrals were ‘targeted’—sadly, those targeted clearly include our most vulnerable: those living in poverty, the disabled, children, and seniors. And Pawlenty knows it.

The Republican actions today — which will lead to higher property taxes, fewer hospitals and worse healthcare — will push Minnesota’s families off the economic cliff.

While President Obama is boldly leading America to a safer, more prosperous future, Tim Pawlenty and the Republicans are making a last, desperate stand in Minnesota for the failed philosophy that America has rejected. But make no mistake — today is indeed their last stand.”

In a phone interview this week, Schwichtenberg expressed disappointment with the ruling and said it hasn't been determined whether the ruling will be appealed.

What wonderful girls. They worked hard at selling cookies so they could earn money to buy food to donate to the food shelf. They should be very proud of themselves!

Hmm, I thought I posted a reply last week. What happened?
Oh bother.
But answer your question Karla, the word was N A Z I...which the bad word filter filtered. And if this version is also filtered, even with the spaces in between the letters (take that word program) think of the game "Yahtzee" only beginning with an N.

There will be some what in the show?

I know it does. But don't

I know it does. But don't worry. That's the beauty of the Flip movie camera. It's so simple you just point and shoot. My eyes were on the road at all times, and I was buckled in. But it does have a French cinema veritae kind of feeling about it, not to mention a bit vertigous. I've gotta get me an assistant for these high production video thingys I'm doing now. Overseeing audio, filming, writing scripts, directing, special effects, graphics...

That looks a little bit

That looks a little bit dangerous.

Thanks! Marty Scorsese and I

Thanks!
Marty Scorsese and I have been talking about a collaboration. He's in between films right now and is looking around for an indie-flavored type of project. So stay-tuned. You never know what Busy Gal will do next.

I think it's great you have video capabilities at Victoriatownsquare. I bet there are lots of ways to supplement info in the print edition and vice-versa. The diggers story you did last week for instance - it would be cool if you had a little online reference to a video tour highlighted on Victoriatownsquare with a little Q & A with the Digger employees.

First I am gratified that you actually clicked through this whole slide show. So you're reward was the best photo! Ha ha ha...oh Karla. I don't think I want to work on multi-media communication platforms anymore, at least not until I get another brain as backup for the overloaded one I currently have.
