Connect Duluth press conference.

About 30 people attend a press conference today. That dealt with the retiree health unfunded liability.As Duluth Politics talked with members of the group many thought that there would be more people. There however was a little problem with what time it was to start. Things like this happen from time to time.

A couple of people to note that were not there to see what the group had to say.

Duluth Mayor Herb Bergson ( he was however spotted heading the direction of the Pioneer bar) I am not saying that was were he was going but he was headed that way.

Duluth Chamber of Commerce

Duluth city Councilors

City Staff


It is important to point out if these people really cared don't you think they should have at least shown up and heard what the group had to say at the conference. Don't give me the lame excuse that they will see it on the news.


Just a couple of highlights from the conference. This week the liability will hit the 300 million dollar mark. This is not a good mark. If and well nothing continues to be done the retiree health benefit liability will continue to grow. It will contunue to give this city major problems.

The mayor has said he supports the task force recommendations. Yet to this point not one has been fully implemented,it has been over 6 month.

More to come on this later. Duluth Politics received a media packed which has a lot of information in it.



Duluth needs change. It truly time to elect new people to office.
