July 4th weekend, two couples are sitting at the beach around mid afternoon watching their kids play in the sand.  They are at the “s” curve beach at Park Point, approx 100 yards to the right of the sidewalk.  They are talking quietly, drinking a few beers from cans.  Each open beer is wrapped in a can “coolie” or whatever you call them.  Each beer can is immediately put back in the small cooler when emptied. 

What are the chances that a community officer (or whoever patrols the beaches) will come up and hassle them?

Neighborhood Housing Services of Duluth is beginning an arts-based revitalization along East 4th Street.  The first step in this exciting process is by adding new artist-designed banners along the corridor and replacing the existing banners.  NHS will be paying a commission to the selected artist(s) as well as the fabrication of the winning design.  Visit the news tab on nhsduluth.org or click here.  Any additional questions, contact Dan Ollhoff with NHS at (218) 727-8604 ext. 207 or email him at dollhoff @ nhsduluth.org.

Cravaack Statement on Anniversary of Obamacare

(Washington, DC) – Today, U.S. Congressman Chip Cravaack (MN-8) released the following statement on the one year anniversary of Obamacare being signed into law:

“Today marks the one year anniversary of Obamacare being signed into law. Obamacare puts government between doctors and patients; is harmful to our job creating entrepreneurs and small business owners; and has been ruled unconstitutional in federal court. Despite broad opposition from the American people, the Obama Administration and their allies on Capitol Hill used every procedural trick in the book to ram through their nearly 3,000 page partisan health care takeover.

“Since then, report after report has shown Obamacare will cost significantly more than we were told, kill jobs, raise taxes, expand government control, and increase the cost of health care for northeast Minnesotans. In response, my colleagues and I in the House passed a simple, two-page bill to repeal this legislation and begin the process of replacing it with true reforms that will expand coverage while at the same time cutting costs to consumers. I will continue to fight against the folly of Obamacare and for common sense solutions to issues within our health care system.”
