On the article Hann Says He’s Not a Bigot Because of Gay Marriage Opposition

ReplyPeople only deserve to be called bigots when they act like bigots. Minnesota law now permits all loving MN couples to marry. We no longer need to discuss a bill under consideration. As the summer goes forward we all have a chance to demonstrate our non-bigoted approach to the marriages of our fellow citizens.

ReplyToday when this family wakes up they are in a better Minnesota, one where no one is discriminated against based on who they fall in love with.Someday his prince will come . Perhaps he will invite Senator Franzen to join his family and friends in dancing at his wedding!

My understanding is that Ms Kieffer was the last member of the House to vote which probably explains the difference in the photographs you saw.

ReplyA 504 accommodation plan through regular education is designed for conditions like this. Decisions to keep your child out of school without specific medical orders can be considered truancy. Folks at PACER can help you learn how to deal with these issues very effectively www,pacer.org

ReplyIt was awfully crowded and heated. I could see with an abundance of caution that a call would be made for the sake of elected officials, city property, and crowd safety.

On the article Minnesota Health Insurance Exchange Passes Senate

ReplyWhen Rep Kieffer was part of the majority, she refused to work to implement the Health Insurance Exchange. Now the voters have spoken and and elected leaders who will see to the needs of a broader range of constituents. Time for her to stop whining and start working with the majority to bring access to insurance to more Minnesotans.

Support of the measure shown by Representative Ward and Sen Kent both at the moment of the vote and throughout the discussion were invaluable.
