Modern Life in Northern Minnesota
U.S. Rep. Chip Cravaack (R-MN8) held his first town hall on the Iron Range last night. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to be there. Reactions I’ve seen so far seem to fall along party lines.

Cravaack’s job is to represent the people of his district. He’s doing just that. Getting face to face with them good…and inherently productive.
What’s your definition of productive?
Productive certainly isn’t this:

Our little ole airport being paid for by people from outside the area will be just fine. The loss of Delta is not a big deal… regional carriers will meet whatever demand exists..
