Stupid tickets
I still see numerous accidents are happening around town. There’s no snow, no ice, the sun is shining and people still are running into each other. I think it’s time to start writing “stupid tickets” for those who are taking up police officers’ time; they do in other states.
Wonderful
For the first time since the Great Depression, the government is literally giving away more money than it takes in. In 2010, 59 percent of Americans received $2.3 trillion in government give-aways while collecting $2.2 trillion in taxes. Aren’t entitlements wonderful?
Stirring the pot
We don’t think citizens should go to council meetings to air their vendettas against council members. Some just like to stir the pot and the council has enough to deal with. The chairman should have stopped it right away. Maybe she’s on his side. We know one council member is.
Willow is a raceway, too
If you think living on Thirteenth Street is bad because of the speeding traffic, try living along the raceway known as Willow. It’s a shorter street so apparently that means you have to go twice as fast. The kicker to all this is that the cops are sitting down there at the SuperAmerica for a good portion of the day. I would think it would be a very simple matter to police down Willow and then go on to Thirteenth Street but that doesn’t seem to be happening that way.
Need a back-up plan
Another closing — detox. Another 15-20 people out of work. I sure hope the counties served by detox have their own back up plan. It was a great service to the people of the counties that were served.
Detox needs a building
This is about detox closing. We’ll be closing and we need a building to move to. So if anybody knows of one that’s open or that they would rent to us, we need someone to step forward and help us with this.
Jobs in Duluth?
Hmmm...16.7 percent jobless rate in Brainerd. More to come, but I bet you might get hired in Duluth!

If the police dept wasnt dealing with accidents they would have more time to pull people over for the high crime of out license plate light or one tail light dimmer then the other you know the real serious stuff.
stupid tickets?
These are some of today's police reports:
"ROAD HAZARD — Received a report at 6:19 p.m. Thursday of a road hazard on the 400 block of Third Avenue as skateboarders had ramps set up in the middle of the road. The skateboarders were advised to remove the ramps. This was the third warning this week.
Received a call to help with an out-of-control 19-year-old male Thursday on Lennox Road.
Received a report from a resident having issues with a family member who requested a house watch while they left town.
Received a report from a caller Thursday that she was unhappy at home.
Received a call Thursday about garbage by a home on Legionville Road.
TRAFFIC STOPS — Made a number of traffic stops Thursday for inattentive driving.
Which of these do you justify deserving "stupid tickets"?
my rants
1) The police are too busy working the night shifts to get all the DUI's and public intoxication fines to worry about the rampant accident prone idiots during the day.
2) 59 percent of Americans received $2.3 trillion in government give-aways while collecting $2.2 trillion in taxes. However, according to the left losers, we have a revenue problem. Just by this stat alone, I would say we have a spending problem...just saying.
3) Detox is closing, huh, I guess the cops may not be giving enough dui's out. Or maybe it is closing because this state is BROKE because of all the entitlement spending.
4) 16.7% unemployment rate, reference #2. Just collect, its the American way. Leave it to the rich, and those who move to find work, to pay for your buttocks.
