How come everything has to be about jobs? Can't it be about how good life is?
If some company brought 100 jobs to Albert Lea but its pollution would reduce our lives by 10 years, I would ask the city to keep that company from coming here.
Perhaps by focusing on the quality of life, the jobs will follow. It surely is a better route to city success than what had been done for many years before.

Hey, if you had nothing much left to lose, you wouldn't have a care in the world either.

C'mon. On one hand, you comment makers cry that business isn't doing well in Albert Lea and on the other you won't listen to this idea. How do you KNOW it wouldn't make appearances nicer? Aren't appearances good for biz? Would you want to start a business next to a pole building? No.
It's a proposal for goodness sake. Don't be a lynch mob. Hear the idea out and if you don't like it, speak your peace. There are people who feel — and perhaps they are right — that new design standards would lift the business climate, even if by a little.
The city's ideas only are a conversation starter and probably will be modified as the discussion progresses. You anti-everythings want to destroy the whole idea, instead of propose changes.

tquam: Did you even read the story? You write "I just wonder how no one saw this coming?" That's crazy. The story never says they didn't see this coming. This story is the result of them seeing what was coming. The city officials have been bracing for this for more than a year now. You are an uninformed person who very rarely reads the local news.

OldTrojan:
This is my tax dollars at work. I pay for these roads. I pay for these cops. I pay for these responders. I have a right to know now, not later. I have a right to see the scene. It is public. I care about victims, too, and that's all the more reason to get the word out quickly. BECAUSE WE CARE. Yes, the names can wait until families are notified, but the fact that it happened? C'mon. You can go move to China, where the state controls the media.

You guys are funny. Aren't media people part of the conservative private sector too? They are part of for-profit businesses. Do you mean to tell me that NBC and CNBC, owned by General Electric, is liberal? Ha!

On the media gag order, it seems the judge is violating the First Amendment. How do you become a judge and not even understand the terms of the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution? It looks like a media gag order isn't needed. Many victims have been in the paper already:

I did get a text about a tornado warning, which is more important than a watch. Maybe the texts only do warnings for severe T-storm, tornado, wind, etc., not watches.

ErnieGann: Did you even read the headline or are you equal to a box of rocks?
It says "editorial" and yet you complain that they are "editorializing."
Give people a break, dude! Learn to read.

bobbyg: Do they spell words incorrectly all the time on the East Coast, too?
Try buses.
Busses means kisses.
My family's sincere concerns are with those passengers. And thank goodness for the good folks who stopped to assist people.
