Burnsville Sen. Dan Hall called recent bills to expand the sales tax to clothing and digital purchases "disappointing."
The battle over the budget got an early start this past week when DFLer Sen. Ann Rest introduced bills that would lift the sale tax exemption on clothing and expand it into online retailing—specifically media downloads like music, movies and TV shows. With DFL majorities in both houses of the legislature and the governor's mansion, the bills are likely to pass, though that hasn't precluded some grumbling from the greatly diminished Republican contingent. "With the current state of the economy, it's disappointing to see tax increases proposed and anticipated," Burnsville Sen. Dan Hall wrote in his weekly legislative update. "This is not the right direction to take our state. The truth is: the state does not have a revenue problem, it has a…

All parties converge at the aquarium at the Mall of America.
At Mistle’s suggestion, he, Ivey and Meredith headed with the toolbox toward the aquarium. “What’s our plan?” Meredith asked in a low voice. “Let’s just get down there and check it out,” Ivey said with impatience. Arriving at the front entrance, they found general chaos associated with a group of children having a birthday party. Surveying the scene, Ivey noticed a door marked “Aquarium Staff Only.” Nearby, kids messed around with fins and snorkels. “Follow me,” Ivey told the other two. Ivey pushed the door open, triggering a screeching alarm that pierced their ears. Momentarily panicked, Mistle issued a command. “Move,” he said, ushering the trio down a narrow hallway. By the time he looked up, they were practically face to face with two …

Our would-be terrorists make their way through the Mall of America.
One minute he was muscling a dolly containing enough explosives to bring down a shopping center, the next he was back inside of his Grandma Anna's kitchen, entranced by the saccharine scent of a homemade apple strudel baking in the oven. "Gunter," his beloved Grandma sang in German. "You need to go wash your hands before you can have any sweets." The German, now in his 40s, looked down at his hands, suddenly realizing they were much smaller than he recalled. His Oma Anna had passed away nearly 20 years ago. Wait a second, Gunter thought, Is this all just another daydream? The blaring of a car horn jerked him back to reality, back to the West parking ramp of the Mall of America. Gunter gritted his teeth as Holly's VW Bug screeched within …
