In their lawsuit, four people allege the Department of Commerce doesn't do enough to unite people with their unclaimed money, and that the state doesn't pay interest on the money it keeps that is later returned to owners. Under the state's law, only the principal has to be returned once the money's owner is found.++

Speed cameras? Yes, please

It's Wednesday confession day so allow me to unburden my tortured soul. I'd put red light cameras at every traffic light in Minnesota. I don't care if the person driving isn't the person who gets the ticket. I've seen too many close calls with people who just had to get to the next red light 30 seconds sooner, risking death and injury to everyone else on the road. The same goes for speed traps. I'd run one on I-94 in the East Metro all day and night and I'd use the newfangled cameras for them too.
