More Predications.

Kron/ Dahlberg county board race:

Well the 32 year incumbent could be in trouble. Bill Kron has not seen a serious challenge for 20 plus years. It seems that many see Kron in trouble. Mr. Kron has been seen around town not looking the best and seeming down and out at times.

Well the challenger has been working hard, his hard work now is not just to get elected if Mr. Dahlberg does in fact win he will work hard on the board for the district. Mr. Dahlberg has worked hard in everything he does.

Dahlberg seems to be out working and fundraising the 32 year incumbent this should be an interesting race. Well many feel this will be a close race I am not so sure it will be.

Predication:

Chris Dahlberg ( you may seen numbers like councilor Fooslie had over Stover in the last council election.)

Huntley/ Stauber

Tom Huntley the state Representative for 7A will win with ease. Huntley has not been doing much that is because he does not have to at this point.

The young Stauber is to be commend on his run. Ryan Stauber the son of city councilor Jim Stauber has ran an out standing race yet it will not be enough. Mr. Stauber just does not have the experience or he money to compete for this office at this point.

Predication:

Tom Huntley

Chicken can do?

Gosh I am so proud that Sharla Gardner is my council person . She seems to be in favor of having chickens in city limits. She said that because of the rising cost of everything including food it makes sense. What?

Okay I understand the rising cost of food and yes, I am okay with people using the land in the city that they can use. You can grow your own food. You can do a number of things. There are also other ways to save money well shopping.

This idea of raising chickens in side city limits however makes no sense what so ever. The regulation are long and they should be. There is not enough room between houses to do this that should be a major factor but it will not be. There is a nuisance law in tact as well but what is going to qualifie for it.

Fact is the city is no place to be raising chickens if you want to do this move to a farm.

I could say much more on this but I won't, I am going to let it go. I hope it does not take up a lot of time because the city faces larger issues.

My thoughts on Sharla Gardner retiring from here union job.

DISCLAIMER: I was a candidate in the thrid district Duluth City Council race during the primary's.


As many of you know Sharla Gardner quite her full time day job. When she won a seat on the Duluth City Council. She defeated Heather Rand in the general election.

Sharla's move was nothing put political. She and union both saw what happened to councilor Johnson. The saw that it could be a bad think if she stayed on as a union head and served on the council.

What people need to realize is that she will continue to vote anything the union supports. When I was ran against her in the primary. She and I were at the AFL -CIO endorsement and she said I will support every major project you plan to forward to the council. Well I believe union's are very important to Duluth, I think everything needs to be looked at from both sides. What are we going to gain what could we loss. Does it benefit everyone or just a special interest?

Sharla Gardner

I have gotten a ton of emails asking what I thought of Sharla quiting her job once she takes over as city councilor. I have not made any comments on this as of yet. This is by design.

I have wanted to wait tell after she take office. When this happens just after the new year I will make my comments on the issue.

Councilor Stewart not to run for a third term.

Yesterday city councilor Russ Stewart said he would not run for a thrid term. Stewart represents the 3rd district. The word was around that he may not seek a thrid.

It turns out that he will indeed not run for a thrid term. It is to bad, he is a good councilor. I don't always agree with him, however he was a sound voice on the council most of the time.

Thanks for all or your hard work councilor Stewart!!!!!

The thrid district is now left a huge void to fill.
