Can't argue with that point, the biggest problem in Albert Lea is the need for sustainable jobs for people aged 18-55.
Other areas are sucking the youth out of Albert Lea like crazy and that does not bode well for the future.
I just hope Sparky & Pam let the new city manager in on the secrets of all their past successes in Albert Lea.

Even if you think the ALEDC is a good idea, do you really want to put Sparks and Bishop in charge of all the economic development in Albert Lea?

Gabe is a perfect example of who I'm talking about.

It isn't so remarkable how the board acts in the counsel meetings after watching Gabe and three commissioners slam tall glasses of beers at Applebee's all afternoon before the last meeting. ;) They were not even sneaky. They were loudly talking about how to get rid of the taperecorder (or break it on Dan's head) and they decided who would motion what, when and who would second it. They discussed keeping things rolling fast enough that Dan would be squeezed out. Never did like to see four on one at the playground, wonder what the Duke would have done? Must have been an interesting meeting, maybe we should give breath tests before meeting. :cool:

Put it this way...
As long as Gabe & Sparky have power in Albert Lea, Albert Lea will continue to be the azzhole of Minnesota.

The three commissioners cannot meet at a public place like mentioned, otherwise they would be conducting an illegal meeting and violating open meeting laws.

I did'nt know that cwolff, but they did, and they put it on G's tab. Wonder if that was a county card Ask the Applebee's crew, one of the waitresses even joined them for a bit. I don't mind a good brewski my selfski,  , but I remember my better half asking me if they should be drinking that much before a meeting.  I joked with her about it probably helping them get along with Belshan and next we would hear a tape with them all singing together on it. The place was crowded, if they should not have been doing it, that was pretty brazen

Not really when you are above the law.
Maybe the driver that evening was legally drunk as well, not a problem when you have the Sheriff in your back pocket. It's good to be king!

"she is getting help"
Huh? 
If nothing was wrong or she wasn't drinking on the job than why is she getting help? ....because she ran into a parked car while driving drunk, is that why?
Have you and the family ever considered doing the right thing and compensating the girls effected by Donna's behavior?
Perhaps you could start a victims compensation fund or something and prove to us how serious you truly are.
