I was born here and have lived and worked here in MN 62 of my 72 years. We have a pretty good state, but not perfect in anyone's point of view. I well remember that amendment to our state constitution, it took a lot of votes from registered voters (not politicians!) to get it passed. In order to provide enough "yes" votes, some strange coalitions were formed. There were not enough art and theater lovers to pass an amendment supporting the arts, and likewise there were not enough people who wanted the clean waters for fishing and other recreations. We really needed to clean up the rivers and streams, as about 3 million Minnesotans are drinking water processed from the Mississippi, and the Minnesota rivers. In my view, the arts is optional, but the deal was made marrying these 2 very different groups, and the amendment was passed. Take note: constitutional amendments are extremely difficult to reverse or nullify. So we live with a very strange deal that provides funding for some crazy stuff I don't appreciate nor understand. In the current news cycle is a gross piece representing the scaffolding that 32 Native Americans were hung at following the Sioux uprising in the 1860's. The mass hanging was approved by Pres Abe Lincoln. How the heck that can be considered "art" being publicly displayed at the Walker Art Center, I just don't understand. And I guess that a whole lot of other people don't understand how such a tragic part of our State's history can be considered art either. So with protests, it will be dismantled next week, and burned. Shameful waste of money as I see it! I hope some "art director" gets fired for this disgusting episode.
As more amendments to our State's constitution are proposed, I hope that all voters take time to read the news, become informed, and make smart decisions. They will live with the results for many decades, and so will their children.

Today's Featured Article - Usin Your Implements: Bucket Loader - by Curtis Von Fange. Introduction: Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
