Minnesota could tax my smokes to help pay for the “People’s Stadium” – Hey, F**K You!
Screw you and your stupid creative financing. Maybe governor Mark Dayton can raise money for the new people’s stadium by taxing some people in his cabinet members for dropping the ball on civil rights, contract compliance enforcement and that silly little oversight of not hiring any blacks on the state capital restoration project. Matter of [...]
Youth Coordinating Board (YCB) meets: Where was the Northside Achievement Zone?
NAZ: "Doing very little or nothing is not something that you keep locked away and hidden from the general public. Or maybe you do..."

Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak makes room for “Schiff” in the shift
The reasons elude me why the mainstream media is so attached to someone that will become unimportant by the end of 2013. Minneapolis mayor R.T.

I understand that facts are sometimes hard to swallow when Fox has been a cheerleader for everything Republican, while [...]

"The problem is the MSFA has hired the same usual suspects and community members who understand the meaning of pass through and the only work people of color will get during construction are small "media-promotable" projects that say, "Look, we like Black people. We let them paint the Viking logo purple." On Saturday, October 27th at 3:00 p.m. [...]
