Steve Brandt has an article in the StarTribune that talks about the amount of water lost to leaky pipes in Minneapolis. The issue here is that a certain percentage of water that’s treated by the city never makes it to end users due to leaks in the system. It turns out that there are more [...]
It’s great to hear the Minnesota Vikings’ Zygi Wilf admit that it’s more important for him to receive welfare than it is for the citizens of the State of Minnesota to have a say in whether Zygi qualifies for welfare.
