Agree with you totally. If someone feels pressure to go to work in this weather and has an accident that either injures them or kills them I would encourage family members to sue the employer. Especially when law enforcement warns people to stay off the roads unless necessary. Some employers that pay minumim wage expect their workers to come in to jobs that are not vital? Usually because the bosses don't want to come in themselves.

scorpio -
it is one thing to be addicted to drugs or any other substance. It is a disease. But selling drugs - there is no excuse for that. If you want to consume meth it is your choice but to try to get others addicted. Addicts have no conscience as it is because getting high is their only goal but selling it brings it to another level. Also the subject of these comments had small children. Having been around a meth addict, I know there is no way you can care for young ones while high or while coming down from the high. No Way At All!

She was very much overpaid. Especially for the city of Albert Lea. I wonder if Lyons, Colorado is looking forward to new city lights?

Trouble maker???? Selling and using meth is much more than trouble making. I have personal knowledge of what meth addiction can do to a loved one. It is hell on everyone close to the person and they just can't see it. It will ruin marriages, jobs, finacial security, relationship with your children, your freedom and ultimately your health and life. As far as I am concerned, this is the worst drug out there and I feel if more money was spent trying to erradicate this drug the crime rate would go down from assaults, child neglect and abuse, buglary etc. Do you realize how many people breaking these laws are addicted to meth? These addicts come in all ages and tax brackets. You would be surprised to know some of the people addicted to this drug. If we do not want our children to even be curious about this drug you need to scare the hell out of them. This is a bad, bad, drug. Once you start you can't stop and you become what I call a walking dead person. You need much support from family and professional help. Good luck to anyone that has a loved one hooked on this poison.

Good grief. Try cooking with rubber gloves on. It is one thing for Subway to use gloves when preparing your sandwiches but try grilling an omelet with rubber gloves on. If you are so worried about it I suggest you eat at home. And the next time you grocery shop put gloves on before you put your hands on the cart handle cuz there are probably more germs there than on food you get at a restaurant.

Why isn't the tribune removing postings that clearly contain racial slurs? Don't be fooled that it is not a racial slur - just like our former administrator Gabrielson tried to explain away his license plates meaning when we all know what it meant.

Why would the state of MN pay for her education? She can take out loans like all the rest of us. The problem is that the Albert Lea Inn, formerly Days Inn, formerly the Kahler Hotel is not able to bring enough business in year round to sustain a decent profit. Thus all the owners in the last 5 years. It is to big and just because they book conventions etc does not mean it can make a go of it. And what idiot at the bank ever approved a loan for someone with no business knowledge. When I go to the hospital I sure don't want an accountant caring for me. There is a shortage of nurses so I say she is making a good choice.

wakemaker - Exactly what are trying to imply? I hope your comment is directed towards the times of crime being committed and not the appearance of who is committing them. I think that with the growing use of meth there will be a growing crime rate, especially violent ones.

the reason that Albert Lea has become so depressed is because the people we hire to get this city up and running don't do the job. So therefore she was overpaid. She did nothing for Albert Lea. Our location should bring in more business that it does. We were told that if we voted for the school referendum that it would encourage businesses to locate here. Has that happened yet. Victoria thought new city lights would draw in motorists to shop etc. Only thing is, you can't see the lights from the freeway because they are so dim (not to mention ugly). Hopefully Albert Lea will get a new city manager that see's the big picture. And the median wage will go up because there are businesses out there that pay so some of our younger people will stick around and not just leave Albert Lea to end up being a retirement community.
