Other view: Let clock run out on day care union
The 2013 labor wish list at the state Capitol included a measure to allow some home care workers to bargain collectively with the state. Those who care for young and vulnerable Minnesotans deserve our respect. It’s important work they do, but union representation isn’t a good idea for the workers or for those they care for. Skeptics are right to doubt that the proposal would bring us closer to what we all want: good care for those who need it, a good deal for taxpayers and stable costs.

Reader’s view: Bluegrass band puts Northland on map
I was born in Duluth, reared in Proctor, and I’m a UMD Bulldog. I have found it tough over the past 16 years defending my homeland while living down here in the Twin Cities. All my co-workers know I’m from Proctor, so what makes the news down here? Some blockhead driving drunk on a reclining chair contraption. My friends are

Reader’s view: Segways will add to Lakewalk congestion
Ah, the Lakewalk, such a wonderful place for families and individuals to walk, run, bike or skate. Enjoying beautiful weather brings tourists and locals into close proximity with the lake that we love.

Overheard
“The collective bargaining bill to unionize child-care providers … would have a negative impact on the children in our state who need us most. It will not give child-care providers a voice or extra benefit. It will only add an extra union hand into the pot of money set aside for (the Child Care

Reader’s view: Let’s question silence on homosexuality
A court of law and court of public opinion are different forums. The 1966 Miranda ruling gave Americans the right to remain silent once legal authorities decided to arrest and move forward with litigation. But the right to remain silent also applies in the court of public opinion.

Reader’s view: Marriage debate wasn’t about love
I have been a union member for 55 years, and I believe in God’s law of salvation and not man’s. The recent marriage debate in Minnesota isn’t as much about love as it is about money and benefits.

Local view: Alcohol tax increase would cause widespread damage in Minnesota
Mark Twain, who visited Duluth in 1895, once said, “No man’s life, liberty or property is safe while the legislature is in session.” If you are employed in Minnesota’s hospitality or tourism industries, never has Twain’s quip seemed less humorous or more ominous than today.

About this commentary

The editorial also called on the state Attorney General’s Office to be a stronger partner with the city. You can read the editorial at duluthnews

Attorney general's response: Give me authority to prosecute synthetic drugs
Synthetic drug abuse is deadly. Last June, an 18-year-old from Grand Forks, N.D., and a 17-year-old from Park Rapids, Minn., died from synthetic drugs. The drugs were made by a self-described “hobby chemist” who bought the synthetic drugs online from China and other countries. He sold the drugs to a dozen people from Grand Forks, who distributed them to friends.

Reader's view: Corporate America has hijacked government
Which of the following issues bothers you more: lack of gun control, the Penokee mine, the wolf hunt, banning dogs from the wolf hunt, union-busting, the loss of equal-pay laws in Wisconsin, right-to-work laws, restrictive legislation on female reproductive rights, voter identification, collective bargaining, or extreme budget cuts to education, health care and local government?

Reader's view: Many unanswered questions on rail plan
As a retired railroader who worked on the old Amtrak North Star in the late 1970s and early 1980s, I sit back and marvel at all the studies and all the so-called consultants paid a fortune to talk up the white elephant that is the proposed Northern Lights Express passenger train between the Twin Ports and Twin Cities (Our View: “Hold rail proponents accountable for claims,” May 1).
