Staff exodus from 360 reflects revenue shortages, exec says Former Burnsville school superintendent, city manager, district court judge have left their jobs in recent months by John Gessner

Ajax didn’t confirm the terminations and said she wouldn’t comment on individual personnel matters. “We’re in a strong, healthy financial position now because we’ve got the staffing level that we can sustain and support,� said Ajax, who began work 37 years ago for the humanservice agency formerly called Community Action

Council. “We have eliminated a whole level of services and flattened our organization,� Ajax said. “We are putting all of our dollars into direct services at a time when the needs of the community have also increased incredibly.� Adjusting levels is nothing new for the 40-year-old agency, Ajax said Friday. 360 Communities had a year-end deficit in 2010 of $580,540, according to the state attorney general’s office. Revenue totaled $3.37 million, with expenses of $3.95 million. The deficit figure is

skewed because it reflects only nine months of revenue after the agency switched to a new fiscal year, Ajax said. For the newly begun 2011-12 fiscal year, Oct. 1 to Sept. 31, 360 Communities has budgeted $4.3 million, Ajax said. That’s compared with $4.8 million back in 2007, even though the needs of the Dakota County communities 360 serves have grown, Ajax said. The $700,000 in United Way funding that 360 got in 2007 has shrunk to $230,000 today, she said. County and state funding have been cut, Ajax said.

The only stable source of funding has been contributions from citizens and businesses, she said. “We need the community now more than ever when the needs are great,� she said, noting that 360 gets about 40 percent of its contributions from October through December. Konat started in his new position on Oct. 17 as CEO of DARTS, a West St. Paulbased nonprofit that addresses transportation and other needs for the aging population.

ELECTION District 191 voters say ‘yes’ Burnsville-Eagan-Savage School District has $10 million annual levy renewed by Tad Johnson

Ballot result

THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Despite voters’ renewal of a 10-year, $10 million annual levy in the Burnsville-Eagan-Savage School District on Tuesday night, difficult budget decisions are ahead for the board. About 67 percent of the votes were cast in favor of renewing the levy that would have expired in 2013 if not approved. A defeat of the $845 per pupil levy, which represents about 9 percent of the district’s annual operating budget, would have meant deep cuts in programs. “This is not going to prevent future budget adjustments,� Clegg said on Wednesday morning.

School Board incumbents re-elected in District 196 by Jessica Harper THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

The four incumbents in the Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan School District were voted back into office during Tuesday’s election. Joel Albright, Rob Duchscher, Jackie Magnuson and Bob Schutte earned the top vote totals among seven candidates for the four, four-year seats. Albright, Duchscher and Magnuson said they believe the election results indicate voters are satisfied with the School Board’s

performance. “I think this shows the community is very happy with the school system and the direction it’s going,� Magnuson said. The official results as reported by the Minnesota Secretary of State were: Magnuson 2,583; Albright 2,408; Schutte 2,405; and Duchscher 2,402. The next highest vote total went to Steven Butler with 1,235. Gary Krueger finished with 1,200 and Fay Coggshall had 992. The vote totals are with 18 of 18 precincts report-

ing, including absentee ballots. Voter turnout was low without general election ballots this year, which Albright said he expected with great disappointment. Duchscher was also saddened by the lack of voter turnout. “I believe that in a democracy, we need to turn out votes to get input,� he said. Bob Schutte could not be reached for comment.

Nearly two decades in the making, Eagan’s “ring roadâ€? is almost complete. The project’s final phase, the Duckwood Drive overpass, will open Nov. 15. “We’re pretty excited to see it come to fruition,â€? said Russ Matthys, Eagan city engineer. The “ring roadâ€? aims to ease congestion around Eagan’s busiest intersection: Yankee Doodle and Pilot Knob roads. More than 60,000 drivers go through this intersection daily, making it the second busiest intersection in Dakota County. “The more options we can give, the more people we can take out of the intersection ‌ allows us to avoid adding new lanes on Pilot Knob in the future,â€?

Construction of the Duckwood overpass – located next to Fairview Clinic – cost $4.3 million, slightly more than the $4.2 million to design and construct the Northwood Bridge and Denmark roundabout. Both were funded with city funds, and about $1.6 million from Dakota County and federal agencies.

Opinion Thisweek Columnist

Entertainment is worth public support Larry Werner THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

As the guy who is lucky enough to manage the largest news organization south of the river, I get to attend a lot of meetings all over Dakota County. Among those I attended this past week were two that dealt with public funding of entertainment. Beyond that basic similarity, they were very different meetings. But they got me to thinking about the role entertainment plays in the quality of our lives. The first meeting, on Monday, consisted of a dozen volunteers who make up the steering committee for the Dakota County Regional Arts Collaborative. It was held at the Steeple Center, Rosemount’s arts center, which was built in the old St. Joseph Catholic Church. The second meeting, on Tuesday, was a lively lunch for several hundred at the Holiday Inn & Suites in Lakeville. There, members of the Lakeville and Burnsville chambers of commerce cheered employees, players and cheerleaders of the Minnesota Vikings. At both meetings, there was

discussion of public funding for the entertainment industry. The arts collaborative is a year-old organization put together by LaDonna Boyd, economic development director for Farmington-based Dakota Electric. Boyd pulled arts folks together a year ago to talk about coordinating and promoting the county’s arts organizations and artists. This soft-spoken, but hardcharging, businesswoman has long believed that the arts contribute not only to our enjoyment but to economic development. The organizational meeting of the collaborative a year ago drew about 70 people who represent arts groups in the county. The first annual meeting of the collaborative could draw 100 people to the Lakeville Area Arts Center from 1 to 3 p.m. Nov. 16. At Monday’s meeting of the steering committee, the members, who represent the arts from Eagan to Lakeville and from Hastings to Burnsville, talked about the need for funding. At the annual meeting, the committee will set a date for electing a board of directors, which will then adopt bylaws.

That kind of structure is needed, Boyd said, if the collaborative hopes to get a few thousand dollars from the state’s Legacy Fund, which awards grants from salestax receipts for environmental and cultural activities. At this point, the collaborative is using a Legacy grant of $1,500 for its organizational activities, which have included focus groups on what county arts groups want from a collaborative. Michael Bateson, a marketing representative with Charter Communications who also is an actor, said artists such as he need support from a county-wide arts group. Others described artists, arts centers and arts groups as small businesses in a growing industry that deserves public support. Bateson leaned over during the meeting to tell me nearly 200 attended his one-man Mark Twain show in Lakeville last month. The next day, at the Holiday Inn, Vikings executive Lester Bagley told the chamber members the football team provides entertainment for millions of fans and generates millions of dollars for the state and its business community. He introduced cheerleaders,

Viking radio voice Paul Allen and players Michael Jenkins and Brian Robison as part of a campaign to get $600 million in public money to build a new stadium for the team. Bagley showed a slick video that suggests a new stadium is not an arena for the team’s wealthy owners and multi-millionaire athletes but a monument to the team’s 50-year history. At my table, some local business executives expressed concerns about spending millions on a stadium but admitted they do love their Vikings and hope they can give the Packers their first loss in Green Bay on Monday night. I, too, bleed purple, which is no small admission for a guy who grew up in Michigan watching the Detroit Lions. But I understand that while I am home watching Christian Ponder connect with Michael Jenkins on Sunday afternoon, others prefer listening to chamber music or attending art exhibits. Whether it’s sports or sculpture, our lives are enriched by art and entertainment. And these cultural pursuits deserve public support. But can we afford what the Vikings want?

Mary Liz Holberg, the state representative from Lakeville, was surrounded by reporters and photographers after the Viking lunch. Would she support a stadium bill? She won’t comment until there is one, said the Republican chair of the House Ways and Means Committee. After the metro media moved away, I asked her why no one is talking about adding seats to TCF Bank Stadium so the Vikings can play in a lovely new stadium at the U. I was encouraged to hear her say that such a proposal is being drafted in St. Paul. As a supporter of the arts and a Viking fan, I think the county arts collaborative deserves more than $1,500 in public funding – and the Vikings deserve something less than $600 million. Let’s hope our lawmakers can find a way to keep the Vikings with a sensible stadium plan and that the Vikings beat the Packers on Monday.

Letters Wife thanks those who helped after husband had stroke To the editor: This letter is written to express my sincere thank you to the parents of Eagan High School’s girls ninthgrade soccer team and the Eagan Police and response team after my husband had suffered a massive stroke while attending the soccer game on Sept. 30. The parents went into “help mode� when they heard my 911 call. There were a couple of nurses among the parents who took care of my husband, a parent went to get our granddaughter, mothers helped give 911 directions to the field, parents helped direct the police and medics to the field, the cart driver gave our daughter-in-law a ride to the scene, others took care of our car so I could ride in the ambulance and all the others who helped in anyway – thank you. The response was fast and efficient. Thank you as well to the ambulance driver for

her “common sense� driving and assuring conversation on the way to the hospital. Thank you to the medic who attended to my husband. To everyone who helped in this emergency – thank you. Even though my husband will be hospitalized for some time, your kindness and help will never be forgotten. Thank you and God bless you all. ELLEN JACOBSON Burnsville

Get Ready for ‘Give to the Max Day’

kids help decide what charities they would like to support as a way of teaching them about the value of sharing with those who are less fortunate. Cheerful Givers, which provides birthday gifts for kids in Minnesota who don’t get to celebrate their birthday, is just one example of several thousand nonprofits who need your help (www. cheerfulgivers.org). To encourage donations throughout the day, an individual donor will be randomly chosen every hour by GiveMN.org to win a “Golden Ticket.� An additional $1,000 will be given to the charity that received the original donation, and one name will be randomly drawn to win a $10,000 golden ticket. Local musician, Tim Mahoney, has written a song to be unveiled on this day whose title sums it all up – “Just Give.�

Grave concerns To the editor: How predictable was Paul Hoffinger’s letter to Thisweek on Oct. 7. As always, Hoffinger managed to disguise his Marxist views by skewing facts and history. What politicians enhance their standings by reducing jobs and overtly sending them elsewhere? The myopic and perfidious practice of burdening employers with expensive and mindless regulations and onerous confiscatory taxes forces many into insolvency or to seek harbor in foreign lands. Since all of these costs must be paid by consumers, none benefit. As for U.S. Rep. John Kline, R-Lakeville, he has researched the expensive noncompetitive nature of government-sponsored health care. He knows that the studies are clear and unequivocal, not only will their total costs be borne by workers and all taxpayers, the costs will increase dramatically. Worse, the quality of health care will decrease dramatically. The government panels will be given wide latitude and authority to determine whose health needs will be answered and when rationing is to be exercised. This must cause every think-

ing adult to have grave concerns. The idea that competitiveness is not needed in all enterprises is best exemplified by comparing results of private education and government-sponsored monopolies with their sacrosanct unions. I shall continue to vote for those not alien to facts, including my congressman Kline, and my state Sen. Ted Daley and state Rep. Doug Wardlow. RICHARD IFFERT Eagan

Crime’s up? City should stop wasting money

Let us see. Recently we heard the sad story about Craig Ebling, our humble city manager, making only $137,000 a year. There is also a deputy city manager who makes $126,000. We built the PAC and lost $526,000 in 2009, $368,000 in 2010 and $386,000 in 2011. I’m taking that information off of the front page of the Oct. 28 issue of Thisweek. The PAC was built against the wishes of hundreds of people by Mayor Elizabeth Kautz and council members Liz Workman and Dan Gustafson. I know because I was there and watched Workman roll her eyes and Gustafson talk down to us like we were naughty children for having a thought of our own. So after all of this I have a solution. Stop building more Section 8 housing. We have more than any city in Dakota County. Fire Ebling or his assistant and save the money spent on their salaries and benefits. Stop wasting money on the PAC and take that $500,000 and spend it on police and fire personnel. That is how you spend my tax dollars.

To the editor: When I first looked at the headline (“Burnsville crime is up — but why?� Thisweek, Oct. 28) I had to do a second look just to make sure I saw what I thought I saw. Well, I did! But after 15 years of political correctness and a mayor and council that spent $20 million taxpayer dollars on the failed Performing Arts Center in the Heart of the City, it is no wonder that STEVE SCHOFIELD Burnsville our crime is up.

Blaze runner-up at state Unseeded Burnsville girls soccer team nearly pulls off the upset in state final by Andy Rogers THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

It took a shoot-out to decide a state champion in the Class AA girls soccer state final with Burnsville and Wayzata knotted at 1-1 after 100 minutes of play. Burnsville’s Maggie Soderholm, Hannah Keirstead and Alyssa Blahnik converted on their chances during the shoot-out but Wayzata made one more to win 2-1 (4-3) on Nov. 3 at the Metrodome in Minneapolis. “The shoot-out is a tough thing, but I’m happy,” Burnsville coach John Soderholm said. “It’s a big deal to get here. Hopefully we’ll get back here next year. … I told them there’s no disappointment. It was a

great season. I’m very happy for them.” Both teams could have prevented a shoot-out several times. Wayzata had 23 shots while Burnsville had 15. Goalkeeper Meghann Rudolph gave the Blaze a chance with 11 saves. “We gave up too many shots,” John Soderholm said. “We got kind of panicky and we started playing their game a little bit.” After a back-and-forth, scoreless first half, Blahnik put the Blaze on the board four minutes into the second half. Sarah Poythress passed to an open Blahnik who ran 50 yards untouched and launched a left-footed kick to the opposite side of the net to take a 1-0 lead.

Wayzata tied the match at 1-1 with 21:45 remaining with a textbook passand-shoot between Maddie Eklin and Kiana Nickel. Wayzata came in to the tournament with more experience compared to the young Burnsville team, which made its first state appearance in 15 years. Six of Burnsville’s top seven scorers along with its goal keeper are underclassmen. Wayzata is one of the more storied girls soccer programs in Minnesota with 23 state tournament appearances, five state titles and a second-place trophy last year. “Being the underdog makes you play harder because you have nothing to lose,” Blahnik said. “We

John Soderholm said. “The girls grew up a lot during the season.” Rudolph, Blahnik, Tiana Khamvongsa and Hannah Freden were named to the 2011 Class AA Minnesota All-Tournament team. Burnsville’s season ended with a 17-5 record. Andy Rogers is at andy.rogers@ecm-inc.com.

The Eagan football team fell short of an upset in the Section 4-5A final Nov. 4. The No. 3 seed Wildcats lost to top-seeded and undefeated Cretin-Derham Hall, 31-12, putting an end to Eagan’s season. Although the Wildcats weren’t favored to win, the loss wasn’t any easier to absorb as Cretin-Derham Hall has defeated Eagan during the last three section playoffs. Although both Eagan and Cretin-Derham Hall came in with high-scoring offenses, it was the defenses that were showcased in the first half. Eagan put the Raiders in punt formation more than usual in the first half. Jabri Guy stopped a Raider drive with an interception as well, but the Wildcats weren’t able to covert it into points. “We got to the 30-yard line three times and we didn’t score,” Eagan head coach Rick Sutton said. “We needed to be able to get points in those situations.” Cretin-Derham Hall drove to the 10-yard line on its second drive only to settle for a 27-yard field goal to get on the board first. On its next drive quarterback Connor Rhoda connected with James Onwualu for 48 yards to take a 10-0 lead, but Eagan wasn’t about to be shut out. Eagan quarterback Drew Bauer found plenty of room to run during a 68-yard touchdown scamper, but the extra point failed, putting the score at 10-6. In the second half, Onwualu and the Raider offense found leaks in the Eagan defense. Onwualu had touchdown runs of 87 and 25 yards to take a 24-6 lead. “I don’t think we tackled as well as

we could have, but it wasn’t for lack of effort,” Sutton said. “The effort was outstanding, we just didn’t make enough plays.” Eagan answered before the end of the third quarter. A 34-yard catch by Mack Nelson set up a 35-yard touchdown catch by Eagan’s Eric Woodcock, but the 2-point try failed. In the fourth quarter, the Raiders were able to run the clock down and capped the game with an 8-yard touchdown run by Blake Banham. After starting 0-3, Eagan won six on its last seven games to advance to the section final, finishing with a 6-5 record. “I’ve told these guys that in all my years of coaching, this has been the team that has had the most improvement from beginning to end,” Sutton said.

Lightning fall to Prior Lake The Eastview football playoff resurgence came to an with a 27-7 loss to Prior Lake in the Section 3-5A final Nov. 4. The teams were tied at halftime thanks to a 54-yard pass from Eastview quarterback Ryan Reger to Amare Kennedy, but the Lakers scored 20 unanswered points in the second half to win. The Lightning came into the playoffs with a 3-5 record and the fourth seed, but defeated No. 5 Burnsville and No. 1 Rosemount on its way to play No. 2 Prior Lake in the final game before state. Eastview was one of only two teams along with Moorhead in Class 5A to play in a section final game as the No. 4 seed or lower. Prior Lake will play in the Class 5A state tournament quarterfinal game against Totino-Grace on Friday in the Metrodome. Andy Rogers is andy.rogers@ecm-inc.com.

As they reached the top of the ramp, Savory grabbed the wheel and a fight ensued. Eventually, the driver pushed Savory out of the vehicle and drove away. Savory faces a maximum of 10 years in prison if convicted of robbery and up to three years in prison if convicted of fleeing from police.

A Minneapolis man was charged on Tuesday in connection to a gas station robbery and high speed chase in Eagan. Jermaine Savory, 34, was charged by the Dakota County Attorney’s Office with two counts of simple robbery and fleeing from a peace officer – all felonies. The criminal complaint contains the following account: Savory entered a Holiday Gas Station on the 3600 block of Pilot Knob at 5:30 a.m. Nov. 6, and began yelling at employees. He then jumped over the counter and demanded an employee open the cash register. The clerk, who believed Savory had a gun, removed an undisclosed amount of cash.

Savory fled the scene in a silver van with the cash. Store employees took down the license plate number and called police, who learned the vehicle had been stolen in a car-jacking in Lakeville. An Eagan officer attempted to pull the van over at the intersection of Highway 13 and Diffley Road. Savory refused to stop and led police on a chase through Burnsville and Apple Valley, reaching speeds of 100 mph. Eventually, his vehicle struck “stop sticks� that were set by police on Cedar Avenue. After one of the tires deflated, Savory stopped the van near Cedar Avenue and 143rd Street where he ran on foot. A short chase ensued and police arrested Savory. During a search, officers found that Savory had $141 on him and in his vehicle. Police brought one of the gas station employees to the scene where he identified Savory as the man

Minnesota has a rich choral tradition that resonates throughout high school and college auditoriums and church steeples across the state. While students have a chance to explore a broad repertoire, after their college graduations often their soaring voices can’t be heard singing much more than hymns on Sundays. The 100-member Minnesota Valley Women’s Chorale plans to change all that. Founded by longtime District 196 vocal music teacher Judy Sagen, the chorale will stage its inaugural performances this weekend at two Apple Valley churches. While the group is steeped in Minnesota’s choral tradition, the women hope to start a tradition of their own. “We want to introduce audiences to the power and beauty of the women’s repertoire,� Sagen said. “We believe in the performance of creative and challenging music that entertains, inspires and affirms with a spirit of friendship and hope.� Rehearsals for the upcoming performances, which will be in conjunction with the 9-year-old Minnesota Valley Men’s Chorale, started in August.

“In starting up a community group like this, I knew up front that there would be people that would miss due to family commitments ‌ but I work around their commitments.â€? She said one of the great things about the chorale’s schedule is that it has two sessions. One runs from August to November and the other runs from January to April. Singers in both choirs have a break during the holiday season and have the spring and summer off. “This way people don’t feel that it takes up too much time,â€? Sagen said. “It also keeps it fresh where people look forward to coming back.â€? People who attend the concerts can expect to hear classical, folk, BroadPhoto submitted Elaine Jonas sings during a rehearsal of the Minnesota Valley Women’s Chorale. She is a way and gospel music.

The slow real estate market in Eagan is indicative of the recession, not the city, explained Tom Hedges, Eagan city administrator. “The trend in Eagan is felt around the country and even the world,� he said. “Eagan is actually healthier than many other cities.� Lockheed Martin is one such company that has had better luck with the real estate market. The company announced in October it plans to close its headquarters in 2013. Unlike Delta, Lockheed has already found a potential buyer for its building — Minneapolis developer CSM Corp. Hedges said he is confident Blue Cross too will find a buyer for its property. “I’m hopeful they will sell (Waterview) soon to a good buyer,� he said. “It’s a good location with a wonderful view.�

Blue Cross hopes the sale of Waterview and its salelease back plan will generate capital to invest in other business opportunities, McManus said.

The district went back to voters the following year and were successful with its 10-year, $6.75 million annual levy question. That levy sought $630 per pupil. That question was approved 51.4 to 48.6 percent with a voter turnout of 12,036. That is the same scenario that played out in 2001 and 2002 in District 191.

Clegg said the $50 per pupil funding approved by the Legislature during the last session won’t cover the rising costs to run the district. Clegg said the district’s annual budget increases by about $3 million or $3.5 million each year due to rising fuel, health care and state-mandated contributions to the teacher pension fund.

A delay in 40 percent of the district’s state aid will require the district to borrow money to cover operating expenses and incur additional expense with interest payments. There wasn’t too much drama to the Election Day results as Burnsville’s precincts reported less than an hour after the polls closed that the yes votes had almost a 70-30 margin over the no tallies. Savage precincts were sluggish to report their numbers, but by about 11 p.m. the final tally was complete.

Lakeville is center stage for stadium debate Governor says it’s time to stop playing games as Vikings take show on the road

by T.W. Budig THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

While a Vikings caravan made a stop in Lakeville, a feisty Gov. Mark Dayton urged state lawmakers on Nov. 8 to “stop playing games� and act on the NFL team’s stadium proposal. “Come on. What are we doing here?� asked Dayton at a Capitol press conference. “This is about moving Minnesota forward,� he said of finding a stadium solution. Dayton’s goading of lawmakers comes the week when the governor had been planning to release his own Vikings stadium proposal. But Republican legislative leaders last week left a meeting with the governor speaking of holding hearings on the stadium rather than biting on Dayton’s proposal to hold a special legislative session prior to Thanksgiving. Dayton argues that establishing a tight time frame is key to finding a stadium solution. The Minnesota Vikings are active. In recent days, the team released an ad on local television that asks Minnesotans to find a stadium solution. Vikings Vice President of Public Affairs and Stadium Development Lester Bagley along with Vikings players were in Lakeville on Tuesday at a luncheon with

State Reps. Diane Anderson, R-Eagan; Pam Myrha, R-Burnsville; and Mary Liz Holberg, R-Lakeville, attended the event. Bagley thanked all three for working with them on the stadium issue. When Holberg was asked afterward if she supported public financing for a Vi-

kings stadium she said she would need to see a bill to make such a decision. She compared the stadium discussion to working on a thousand-piece 3D puzzle, except putting together a puzzle “would be a lot more fun,� she said. Dayton was more direct in his rhetoric. “They’re our team,� said Dayton of the Vikings. They want to remain in See Vikings, 12A

Vikings/from 11A Minnesota, “but they need a new stadium to do it.� Besides keeping the Vikings in Minnesota, Dayton argues that building a new stadium would create thousands of private sector construction jobs – he’s “mystified� lawmakers fail to make this connection, he explained – in addition to offering a means for remedying urban blight and in the case of Arden Hills, clean up a contaminated area. Bagley cited such economic impact factors in support of the Arden Hills proposal. He said the Vikings generated $21 million in taxes in 2010. Since

Lester Bagley, Minnesota Vikings vice president of public affairs and stadium development the Vikings have been playing in the Metrodome, the team has accounted for $186 million in taxes going to the state.

He also argued that the Vikings are a regional draw with 40 percent of game-day attendees coming from outside the metro area and 20 percent from other states. Owner Zygi Wilf, who was slated to speak on Tuesday, has proposed to give the third largest owner contribution in NFL history – $420 million of the proposed $600 million. Dayton charged that lawmakers, unwilling to vote on a stadium, were putting their jobs as legislators ahead of thousands of needed jobs that a big construction project would bring. Dayton, as in the past, would not say which of the stadium proposals, Arden Hills or ones in

downtown Minneapolis, he favors. A stadium could be built without using any state general fund taxpayer dollars, Dayton said. Dayton indicated a preference for the use of pull-tab dollars, but did not rule out racino, a sales tax on sports memorabilia, or most other potential funding sources. But he did indicate that he did not favor the use of Legacy Amendment dollars for stadium financing. Letting the Vikings stadium issue slip into the regular legislative session in January will serve only to dilute it, Dayton argued. The stadium issue would then be in “limbo� even longer, he said. Dayton did not specifically

mention the names of lawmakers whom he perceives as playing games. “If the shoe fits, wear it,� he said. An email from House Speaker Kurt Zellers, R-Maple Grove, to Republican lawmakers that came to light last week indicated the speaker had decided against a special session, though Dayton said Zellers had never indicated that to him. “It’s time for the leaders of the Legislature to show some leadership,� Dayton said.

The Tribune has been in continuous operation since 1884.

The newspapers have a combined circulation of about 60,000, offering coverage in the cities of Apple Valley, Burnsville, Eagan, Farmington, Lakeville and Rosemount. ECM Specialty Publications develops custom products with an emphasis on tourism and travel, economic growth, and new resident information along with the south-of-the-river lifestyle
