glad I left St.Paul:smoking bans,socialists,and "liveable wages", oh my!

("liveable" for whom?)

[Dog Gone]

Is there something funny in the water up there?

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Maybe I should move back. I could use a raise.

So St Paul is soon to be a pale shadow of Minneapolis. Wonder how soon we will be getting lecture from the Mayor about "White Flight" to the Suburbs? Hey Kerry voters! No need to emigrate to Canada, St Paul will be your Socialist enclave! Move there!

My youngest was born in Minneapolis. I'm glad we got out of there.

...progressive interests that are getting ready to push an aggressive agenda ...

In other words the nanny state is alive and well in Minnesota. It should be interesting to see the social engineering that's going to take place now.

I don't suppose anyone told the voters, who put these liberals in office, that when wages rise prices rise too?

[Dr Snide]

well that certainly good news for Woodbury, Hudson, etc. Their business will be booming soon as people stop shopping at St. Paul. I had considered moving back to St. Paul, but it sounds like another lost cause.

That rushing sound you hear is the whirlwind you are about to reap...LOL!

(Actually, not you personally, since you got out while the getting was good...but that's really a shame about everyone else who just wanted to live in a nice Minnesota town...I'm so glad the state/federal gov'mints aren't "direct democracies"!!)

[Clemenza]

Why do liberals hate smokers so much? Is it because it detracts from the "healthy yuppie" image they like to project?
