Busy Summer!

Wish I was blogging more, but I have to be honest, the weather has been incredible and I have been riding like a madman! A friend called me the other day and asked what my total mileage on my bike was and I found it on the computer. This is 3.5 years of riding, all year long! I will admit, about 30% of that is total assist, so I don’t want to sound like Lance Armstrong.

And while I haven’t been putting pen to paper I have been researching and tracking down some interesting stories, here is a brief;

• A big rumor about a city hall coverup is about to poke it’s head, or at least the tip.

• Some peeps are privately pursuing former city councilor Marshall Selberg for ethics violations and him living out of his district.

• The school district is scrambling to try to figure out how to squash their mishandling of perjured election forms.

• I am pretty sure most if not ALL of the city councilors knew Matthew Paulson was investing in the Dakota Scout. More on that later.

• Got word today that MP, that we just mentioned above, got a fat grant from the state to educate immigrant refugees in, in-home daycare. Problem is, no loans were given out to actually start the businesses that are so desperately needed.

• Lastly, and this is a biggin’ (that’s an old blues term) I had a wonderful 3 hour convo with a city councilor this past weekend. We had never chatted over malt beverages before so it was nice. We talked about a lot of reform, and it was refreshing.

I will tell you, I don’t take much from these convos, because I have had so many, but I encourage regular folks to reach out, you never know, your relationship with a councilor or councilors may change your life, your neighborhood or even better this city!
