If it's possible, the school could sell that land and get themselves some decent one-time funding. Top-notch in-demand location like that.

I’ll never “tire” of defending Congresman Oberstar and the state gas tax he supports, or of seeing conservatives vomit.

Apparently there's a large flight of people out of the city after birth and before kindergarten. So children being born to Minneapolis residents are not living in the city when it comes time to go to school. I should send you guys the report that this demographer gave at the meeting.

According to the demographer, the city apparently is much older than most would think. Also not good for schools. Wayne, I was told that 40% of households are 1-person households.
