Our view: Hope, pray for cooperation in the Minnesota Legislature 
Last year’s session ended in locked horns — and lawmakers weren’t even talking yet about how to help pay for a Minnesota Vikings stadium. Party politics and partisan polarity led to a budget stalemate and the state’s longest-ever government shutdown.

Our view: Libraries: Use ’em; you paid for ’em
Well, that didn’t take long. Just nine weeks after voters in Duluth said yes to paying more in property taxes to help out city parks — with a vague, woulda-been-easy-to-forget promise to also restore library hours as a way of enticing voters — Duluth library hours were expanded Tuesday.

Our view: Superior shooting no cause for alarm? What?!
Early reports indicated Sunday’s shooting in Superior may have been of the drive-by variety, so police can be forgiven for making a point of emphasizing that wasn’t the case. “This was not a random act of violence the public should be concerned with that may be replicated,” Police Chief Charles LaGesse said at a news conference.

Our view: Extreme, odd news fitting for odd winter
In the grip of a winter that has been anything but ordinary a pair of extraordinary announcements was made Monday. One was worth cheering; the other had to be booed. But both were rarities of historic note for the Northland.

Our view: Hockey needs culture shift to promote safer play
The check was described as neither severe nor malicious. But it was illegally from behind and into the boards, and it had no place in a Minnesota high school hockey game. Also, it was nasty enough to leave Benilde-St. Margaret’s sophomore Jack Jablonski in the hospital.

Our view: Growth is Ness’ challenge; will it be Duluth mayor’s legacy?

Our view: Nothing wrong with a little fun
From a lectern made of ice to invitations that featured a grinning, snowball-tossing chief administrative officer (“Here’s your inaugural ball,” Duluth CAO Dave Montgomery was made to tease on the cartoonish invite), Monday’s Duluth mayoral and Duluth City Council inaugurations were anything but ordinary.

Our view: With unstable economy, 2012 should be wild ride
Attending the annual Economic Realities Luncheon Friday in Duluth was a lot like going to church. On Sunday mornings, for every, “You’re a sinner doomed to hell,” most pastors offer also a, “Jesus loves you and you’ll be saved.”

Our view: Nuclear waste here? Actually, why not?
The news landed like a lump of coal for many of us on Christmas morning: The Lake Superior region of Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan’s Upper Peninsula has “the most stable region of granite outcrops in the U.S.” Also, there hasn’t been a volcano or significant earthquake here in millions of years. And that makes our area perfect — absolutely perfect, according to a front-page story about a 114-page study from the Sandia National Laboratory — for entombing nuclear waste.

Our view: Thanks for serving
No one agreed all the time with their politics, with their decisions or with their actions; that’s just not to be expected. It’s not part of the job description for elected office. But all of us can extend our hearty thank-yous to four Duluth city councilors and two Duluth School Board members whose terms of service are coming to an end with the end of the calendar year.

Our view: Wind/mine pit idea ‘worth a try’ on Range
