Thank you Roger Rienert.

I had a great chance tonight to thank Roger for serving on the city council. We did not always agree but I told him I believe he is (was) one of the best councilors ever. He conducts him self professionally and is very respectful. I also believe that his middle of the road stands on many issues will be missed.

I wish him the best as a State Rep now and as I said to him tonight I hope he can get more attain to Duluth for the capitol.

Margaret Ciccone

After 31 years of service to the city of Superior Ciccone packs bags. Many of you will know the name of Margaret Ciccone when she was Mayor of the Superior. She was a victim of a recall vote. I did not always agree with her when she was the Mayor of Superior however thought the recall was out of this world. It was uncalled for.

She also held post of city clerk among others. She went back to her city clerk position after her recall as Mayor of Superior. She said her message would that you watch your government and be involved in it. Her last day on the job was Friday.

Best of luck and best wishes to her as she moves on to life after retirement.

Best news yet.

Thank you to the DFL for the endorsement of Al Franken today. The DFL endorsed there candidate today in at the State convention.

Today they chose to endorse Al Fraken to run against Norm Coleman. I was a bit shocked that there was an endorsement today. I was thinking they were going to go with no endorsement at all. With the troubles of Al Franken it almost ensures Mr. Coleman a victory. If you are unaware of the many problems that Franken has had you can view them at Minnesota Democrats Exposed, www.http://www.http//www.minnesotademocratsexposed.com/.
