I like to pick the reader weekly, I don't many times agree with there stands however I like reading it because they have a lot of things you don't hear else where and now they have added a number of new people one of them is John Ramos.
I have always respect John and well we don't always agree his knowledge of city issues are second to none. He is one of the best in reporting because he takes the time to find out what is going on and he not just use press release and little snippet's. He is one of the few that goes out and does the work when reporting on issues.
In his first reader column he talks about spirt mountain it is a great commentary and ask you all check it out, but he also writes about a couple of other things in there one is the street fee and he takes on a councilor, Howie Hanson.
He says that Hanson is not a team player why? Well because he has came out and said he will not vote for a fee or a tax on the street issue. This makes him a enemy according to Ramos, because he is not a yes man to the Mayor on this issue(team player).
Really Mr. Ramos I contend that Hanson is in fact a team player, he is team Duluth, he is standing up for the people he said he would, unlike the Mayor and some other councilors. Mr. Ramos also is trying to charitize Hanson as some one who is mean and demanding because Hanson feels the city should already have the money for this as it is a essential service of the city.
