" We all struggle with budgeting. What is the big deal. Secondly, the police usually take the hits (see the blog entries here), but that's usually because some people have a problem with authority, and a uniform with badge is a very visible authority figure. I'm sure none of us saints, ever cheat the boss or company, and always give their all to the job (if we have one) from punch-in to punch-out. "

" welcome leaders of Goodview to what the average joe taxpayer must face everyday. but unlike the taxpayer who can't just say i want more money from his employer, government can use it an excuse to just raise taxes (governments 'income'). my suggestion? bite the bullet and trim some fat, as a person who works in government, i know there is always a LOT of fat. just do the right thing and not just look at this as an opportunity to get deeper into average joes pocket, about all that's left is lint anyways.

" Have the cops patrol Wenonah road an pick up the speeders, the trucks hauling that don't stop for railroad crossings and stop signs, and pot smoking cruisers going to Parrie Island road trips. That will bring in more money.

" If we go to the meeting will we be treated like adults by you? Or the mayor? I agree with the poster who replied about the economy of scale. It makes sense to at least ask the question because annexing MN City does not seem like the right answer. "

" How much do similarly valued homes pay in taxes in Winona and Goodview? Do we still pay less for our sewer service than Winona? What are we gaining by staying independent? I like our identity, but at some point the "economies of scale" may tip the balance so far that we'd be shooting ourselves in the foot repeatedly by staying separate. It's particularily tough on our residents living on a fixed income. "

What happened to the News Update about Coleman? wrote on Jul 12, 2007 7:42 AM:
" Okay, this is annoying. Last night (Wed 7-11) there was a News Update regarding Norm Coleman's position on the Iraq conflict. This morning I have searched the WDN site and find nothing of it. Why has it been removed so quickly? I'd bet the majority of WDN readers hadn't yet seen it. The way news stories are managed within the WDN site is maddening. The way comments are treated renders them nearly pointless. I'm ready to defect to the Post. "
