Odd things happen in Minnesota politics and they usualy happen in pairs. Might we be rid of Jessie and Paul with a single vote ? We've suffered the big trifecta of oddity, to be sure: Paul, Jesse, and -- most recently -- Mark. Time to restore a little normalcy to this state.

We lived "up nort" in da Nort Star State (eh ?) for 16 years, raised our kid in Minnesota schools and generally found it a wonderful place to live.
Our impression of Minnesota government was (a) it was large and getting larger and (b)the 46 percent of the population that did not work for some governmental agency was supposed to support the 54 percent who did.
The single most amazing sign that both (a) and (b) were true came when I made a $50 contribution to the state representative serving my area. I got back $25 from the state !
