My esteemed colleagues in MPR's Public Insight Journalism unit have sent out a request to their PIJ "network," asking for information -- insight, if you will -- on local races that are out there. I don't have any particular interesting race to give them -- I think Woodbury Mayor Bill Hargis is probably going to cruise to re-election again, since he appears to have the good sense his predecessor did not (it was our little Foley afffair). And I don't know who's running for City Council although I've seen a few signs around and in Woodbury, it doesn't much matter anyway unless you want to build a building that is distinctive and doesn't look like every other building in town, in which case I guess it's a big deal at the City Council. But I don't have cable TV anymore so I no longer sit on the edge of my seat as the Council discusses plot plans and setbacks and council members occasionally long for the fine-dining options that only a subsequent string of chains can satiate.
So....
Maybe you have a more interesting life in your corner of this fine state and if, so, we'd like to hear from you because otherwise we'll probably be forced to do a story on why a daycare center has to get rid of its purple roof in Woodbury.
So go here and give us something really good!
