Do you mean BPOU Chair? If so, show up in February, 2010 with a bunch of your friends and get elected.

I just emailed KSTP and asked if it would be too much to expect a little balanced reporting. Maybe an interview with the council member in question would be in order and not too much to ask.

I did the same last week. I didn't get any response, nor do I really expect one.

Ted stated that he is "to afraid to attend council meetings" when a permit holder might be packing. I"ll phone Ted and tell him I will be attending the caucus and he will be "to afraid" to show up. Problem solved.

I'll be there. Just to confirm: 12th(Monday) at 7pm at GF city hall?
Also, from the Clint Eastwood wikipedia article:
Quote: There was also a controversy over the fact that he carried a loaded, concealed pistol weapon in city council meetings.
Hveld is in good company!

The Council meeting is on Monday Jan 12 at 7.00PM. If you goggle for a location use Grenfield for city, not Loretto. The city hall is located on County Rd. 50 and Town Hall Dr. You can take Hwy 55 to either Town hall or Greenfield Rd.(Runs North of 55). Greenfield Rd. intersects Cty Rd. 50 one block west of Town Hall. We would like as many people to show up as possible. If you plan on speaking,bring articles or any other written info you have availlable on this subject. Thanks.

Did anything interesting occur last night? Or was it canceled due to weather?

It was pretty boring. Gene German showed up and gave a well informed spiel. Ted Turnham (first guy interviewed in the vid) showed up suggesting(that't putting it nicely, it was kind of hard to follow and old-guy ranty) that he and a former councilwoman wanted to be told when guns were in the building so they could be scared and then suggested [illegally] banning guns on city property. I was OCing a banana and an extra mag to entertain myself.
At some point the council argued over who got the free meal at a chamber of commerce event. For 30 minutes.
A later motion passed to put this and other meetings on youtube.

There was a gentleman who spoke at the meeting who provided important educational materials to the city. I thank him for that. Education in this area is the key.
It's also important for caring people (those residents who oppose OUR right) to realize that guns aren't the enemy. Hence, the educational aspect.
The LAWS on the books - require the ones who carry: to be educated, trained, and disciplined, and those who have a complete respect for life - and an equal respect for what guns can to do life.
I submit a thank you to the people who attended the meeting. Whether you realize it or not, you made a statement - AND you went to the meeting in very bad weather and terrible driving conditions.
Good job and thank you.

Quote: The handgun issue arose after word spread that Veldhuizen was showing off a .22-caliber pistol and a derringer at City Hall after a meeting in early December. Among those who saw the weapons were Krout, City Administrator Brad Johnson and Mike Erickson, also a newly elected City Council member, Veldhuizen said. "The mayor saw [the guns]. She thought it was pretty cool," said Veldhuizen, who said that he and Krout often go shooting together.
Erickson told a political opponent of Veldhuizen about the weapons, who told someone else, setting off a chain reaction that had the town abuzz about the propriety of having weapons at city meetings. Quote: It is not illegal under state law for anyone who has a proper permit to carry a weapon on public property. And because Walsh and Jankowski left the council Dec. 31, the majority of members on the new City Council are staunch Second Amendment supporters, Krout said.
"It's not a big deal," she said.
