Comment on Green vs. Green-The Harmon Park Saga by G. Jefferson

G. Jefferson — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 17:26:04 +0000

I think it is fair to point out, on a liberal blog, the outrage liberals had at the town hall meetings this summer on health care because the same people who derided town hallers and tea party attendees as, wingnuts and tea baggers are the same people who torpedoed the Coborn’s deal. The same hysterics and cries of “Grandma is going to killed by the govt” are the same lunacy that was on display with effort to “Save Harmon Park” – a park which no one uses!

Also, you are telling me that the city administrator isn’t very popular because he is trying to save industry in town? Or that a city council person may possibly benefit from the deal? Who exactly are we supposed to have running the town? The people who NEVER use Harmon Park?

I am a lifelong resident of Pipestone and am involved in efforts to save Harmon Park. Your article is greatly appreciated. I do want to point out that ironically our ,not very popular, city administrator, offered to sell Harmon to Coborn’s not the other way around. Although Coborn’s are so quick to point this out, they also jumped at the offer and are not backing down, despite so many protests.

Thanks for sharing. The train photo is a beautiful shot, and I’m sure the men were deeply impressed by all they saw on their journey. I expect they were amazed by the beauty of the natural landscape when they left the area of destruction.

Comment on “Pray For Me, I Drive Highway 60″ by Simone

We wish we could have been there at that meeting to tell our near death experience on highway 60. We live in the Netherlands and traveled a couple of years ago with our family (two adults, three kids) from Iowa to Minneapolis, when suddenly we were confronted with a truck in our lane. Since the lane he was supposed to be in was filled with other trucks, he could not move back in his own lane. It was clear the truck driver thought he was driving on a four-lane highway. We quickly decided to move over to the shoulder and fortunately the whole row of cars behind us did the same thing. We avoided a major collision, but it has been our scariest experience on the road anywhere, anytime and it is still often the topic of conversation when we meet with friends and family in the Netherlands.

Comment on H.R.676-the United States National Health Insurance Act by Minnesota Central

Minnesota Central — Thu, 28 May 2009 13:38:40 +0000

Don’t know if you saw this little blurb on the AFL/CIO blog, but the Senate resolution advocates consumers be given a choice of an affordable, federally-backed option that would be competition to the health insurance establishment. Noteworthy are the 28 Senator’s comments in support of the resolution – particularly Sens. Sherrod Brown (D-OH), Charles E. Schumer (D-NY), Carl Levin (D-MI), Patrick Leahy (D-VT), Robert Menendez (D-NJ), Debbie Stabenow (D-MI), Bob Casey (D-PA), Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), and Jeff Merkley (D-OR). Most disappointing is that our Senator, Amy Klobuchar has not signed onto the resolution. If you get a chance, please read the press release and contact her (1-888-224-9043 or e-mail) with your views. Klobuchar has stated that she believes that health care legislation will be passed this session … but not any legislation will do. I hope that you will join me in wanting a health care system that serves the people and not increases the influence of the insurance industry.
