Clearing The Air

Before the Mpls. Star Tribune attempts to use its bully pulpit to steer state lawmakers' agenda......it should investigate the facts

Investigate how many bars and restaurants locally have been put out of business due to the bans:

Until the Star Tribune looks at the other side of the issue to explore the facts, it is apparent that they are merely a propagandist media outlet with an agenda.....an uninformed agenda.
