My filing has gone well but it could go late into the night. If it were up to Claudia she would hire a construction dumpster and throw all my stuff away. She could probably fill it.<\/p>\n

I’ve kept among other things all the minutes to the eight years worth of school board meetings I attended albeit by tearing them out of the half inch Board booklets that they came with. I began looking for one in particular and it comes from one of the few that I kept intact with the whole booklet. <\/p>\n

Its from November 1997 when Frank Wanner threatened to target me for defeat in the 1999 election. I drew it and Frank’s threat on the Board booklet during the meeting. The threat came largely as a result of my support for the Edison Charter Schools. Ironically charter schools were the brainchild of a good Democratic Governor Rudy Perpich. They became a very sore point with public school teachers in Duluth. Its a good graphic introduction to the subject of charter schools which I’ll start on soon.<\/p>\n
