Behind the Headlines

Do you ever get to that point where your brain is just full and it’s kind of like that giant bingo drum where the ping pong balls are turned over and over and you’re trying to pull out a B12 but it’s just not working because you keep coming up with O64 or some such?

Yeah, well, the last week has been a little like that.

In between the fair, the bridge collapse in my old city, Minneapolis, and the truly interesting things going on in the community, the news business has been bustling. Don’t get me wrong - I’m not complaining. I love being in the thick of it. It’s just been a little jumbly.

I wanted to post an update of things to come:

* I got a copy of the city pension board expense reports for NCPERS, aka the Hawaii Conference, and hope to post the totals spent later today.
* A story on county and city expenses at that conference will be forthcoming.
* A deeper look at the issue between the Monroe Center and the Commission on Aging.
* A local guy in the Coast Guard, stationed in Alaska, recently helped search for Japanese soldier remains from WWII on a small island.
Let me know if there are any stories you would like to see in the paper or online.
