Minnesota Public Radio features another of my commentaries today “Iron Range youth are damned if they leave, damned if they come back.” That headline ought to get your attention. I don’t mean literally damned, if that helps. Rather I’m talking about the sense of being emotionally uprooted when you leave a place like the Range and try to come back. Naturally, I’ve filtered this through the story of the week, the House 5B special election with a special shout-out to the two leading “left and then came back” Iron Range candidates Carly Melin and Paul Jacobson. Take a look and recommend to your friends.
This is the third time I’ve been featured on MPR’s commentary page. This week is MPR’s big fundraiser so after you’ve joined or renewed with KAXE, the independent public station that I call home, consider what you can do for MPR, which has the best greater Minnesota news coverage of any statewide organization.
