I may have fallen asleep somewhere along the line.....my nephew is a union worker and gets a union newsletter once a month. It lists in his union newsletter that Albert Lea has a library in the planning stages. This is the second month it has been in there.....did I miss something?

A conclusion is simply the place where you got tired of thinking.

Well, I for one am more than a little upset about a new library in the planning stages! My taxes went up outrageously because of the High School and the Courthouse so I will be damned if I have to pay for a new library, and I do not live in Albert Lea, I live in the county. The Albert Lea Public Library has been called that forever, and now they probably want the county folks to pay for the thing so they'll re-name it, the Freeborn County Public Library. I think we should really have an all out campaign on this one. All out war!!!! If they need some space then go to one of the many, many vacant buildings around town and if that isn't good enough then I think we should bring in every damn newspaper and radio station in the State and start to bring down those very people that have railroaded through every proposal the silent majority has been opposed to in the last 4 years. Start a get rid of Sparks petition. It will work even if he is not our city manager any longer (anyway, when the new one comes aboard shortly) Part of his salary is being debated to possibly coming from public monies as we speak. Do Not vote for Jean Eaton, Mary Kron, Amundson, Mathiason, Behrends, Springborg in Nov. That is truly the power we have and can exercise. They do not want bad publicity, that is number one. I mean have you seen even one controversial editorial in the Albert Lea Tribune since the new editor took over? At least Dylan allowed that.

LOL, Torked. You mention a "get rid of Sparks campaign, and the people not to vot for, yet you fail to mention a couple that should be on that list. Don't forget, Fjelstad's campaign promise WAS to get rid of Sparks, yet he's the one who did the quick spin to recess the council and convene the Port Authority that put Sparks where he is today.
What about Erdman and his 1/2% tax push? Run them all out!

What about Marin? For being a minister he does not know how to play nice with others. He is down right rude to the other councilors during meetings. He also wanted to cut the department budgets by not allowing the staff to go to training classes, yet he has gone to neumours seminars around the country supposidely on Council business. The best part is, he takes his whole family on the tax payers buck.

You heard it here first--but it just hit the papers today. To see just how screwed-up and ineffective the TSA is, click the link
http://www.cnsnews.com/....5c.html
It details how the TSA has intentionally sabotaged the armed pilot program. TSA was against it in the first place, but 80% of airline pilots wanted the program--so it was MANDATED BY CONGRESS.
TSA wants armed Air Marshalls on board the aircraft (though they have NEVER thwarted a hijacking in 30 years!), they allow ANY Federal employee to carry a gun (including such "crime fighters" as the Dept. of Education and the Peace Corps), but they have done everything they can to thwart Pilots (you know, those guys who really have a stake in this issue) from being armed--even when certified!
TSA=Thousands Standing Around--Billions of dollars spent--hundreds of thousands of employees--the ruination of an entire industry, air travel denied to smaller communities. Feel safer yet?
If there are any Bush Bashers on this thread--I'm WITH you on this one--"Homeland Security" and "TSA" are the most innefective and dangerous government agencies out there!

Who needs a crazed dictator when our own GOVERNMENT creates their own version of the SS? There are several hundred Hitlers in Congress--on both sides of the aisle! Even when they TRY to do the right thing--like mandating that the TSA implement the right to defend airline cockpits--the Frankensteinian Monster they created thumbs its nose at them!
