On the Local Scene ...
I'm sitting on my couch, laptop in my lap, listening to the Patriot and WCCO on my ccRadio, and watching TV results on Fox, CNN, KSTP-TV, and Channel 12 (our award winning local cable news channel).
On the latter, I'm pleased to report that Tim Willson will be our new mayor here in Brooklyn Center, and that incumbent Councilmember Diane Niesen will be leaving. Mark Yelich and Dan Ryan will be our two new Councilmembers. With Willson and incumbent Kay Lasman (not on the ballot this year), the Council will be able to stop arguing minutia and get on with what's important.
Let me therefore also call your attention to the hard work and great public service of departing Councilmember and runner up in the Mayoral race, Kathleen Carmody. I hope she will consider rejoining the Council once again in 2008.
