Taxpayers subsidizing corporations who create low wage jobs

By Eric Pusey (Minnesota Progressive Project) | October 19, 2013

If you haven’t seen the viral video of Nancy Salgado, a McDonald’s employee of ten years, yelling at the CEO, watch this video. Salgado complains that she has a hard time feeding her kids on minimum wage. No kidding. Continue Reading

Will Nienstadt, et al., listen to The Pope and cut out the bigotry and hatred?

By Eric Pusey (Minnesota Progressive Project) | September 27, 2013

I drive past the Basilica of St. Mary at the western edge of downtown Minneapolis going to and from work every day. I often wonder how an organization with such beautiful buildings have representatives who spew forth such hatred and bigotry and protect priests that cause so much suffering. Continue Reading

Yet another federal probe into Michele Bachmann’s presidential campaign

By Eric Pusey (Minnesota Progressive Project) | September 9, 2013

Rep. Michele Bachmann’s presidential bid ended long ago. She was the crazed right wing nut job of the moment in 2011. Her campaign peaked with her winning the Iowa Straw Poll in August 2011, but soon after began to plummet. Continue Reading

Protect public land from fracking

By Eric Pusey (Minnesota Progressive Project) | August 16, 2013

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is a part of the Department of the Interior. The BLM has proposed a draft of new gas and oil drilling rules. At this point the rules are very fracking-friendly. Fracking is the short-hand for hydraulic fracturing which is a process the gas/oil industry forces massive amounts of a toxic cocktail into oil/gas seams to force out the oil or gas.

I went to a wedding yesterday

By Eric Pusey (Minnesota Progressive Project) | May 29, 2013

The son of one of my wife’s friends and former law partner got married yesterday. I paid extra close attention because the bigots had warned of all kinds of dire consequences if marriage equality became the law. Continue Reading

Legislative progress after a decade of regression

By Eric Pusey (Minnesota Progressive Project) | May 23, 2013

After ten years of Republican destruction, budget slashing and poor management and after the epic Marriage Restriction Amendment fight, the 2013 legislative session felt like a new, fresh start for Minnesota. Continue Reading

Family foster care in danger in Minnesota

By Eric Pusey (Minnesota Progressive Project) | April 6, 2013

Family foster care may be legislated out of existence in Minnesota. Thousands of mental ill and/or handicapped people would have to find other arrangements. This issue hits very close to home. Continue Reading

The rich pay 35% less in taxes than you do

By Eric Pusey (Minnesota Progressive Project) | February 2, 2013

A recent study shows that the richest Minnesotans, MN’s very own 1%, pay far far less in taxes than the rest of us do. 35% less in effective tax rate to be exact, claims Wayne Cox of Minnesota Citizens for Tax Justice. Continue Reading

Latz and Lesch introduce gun control bills

By Eric Pusey (Minnesota Progressive Project) | January 31, 2013

Sen. Ron Latz (DFL-St. Louis Park) and Rep. John Lesch (DFL-St. Paul) have introduced matching gun control bills into their respective bodies at the State Legislature. The bills allow prosecutors to crack down on gun crimes and those possessing guns illegally.

Latz has been a prosecutor and Lesch prosecutes domestic assault crimes as an Assistant City Attorney for Saint Paul. Continue Reading

Event Details

The award-winning Saint Paul Farmers’ Market will open its outdoor Lowertown location for the season on Saturday, April 27 and will be open weekends through November 24. Hours will be 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday and 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Sunday. In addition to an abundance of fresh, local, seasonal produce, shoppers will find healthful dairy and meat products, eggs, baked goods, honey from local hives, small-batch packaged foods and beverages, plant-based apothecary goods, and an array of flowers and plants from Minnesota growers. On opening day, April 27, free coffee will be offered to visitors from 7:00-8:00 a.m.

The Market will also host chef pairings at a monthly pop-up kitchen organized by restauranteur and Market collaborator Tim McKee at which two chefs who don’t work together will team up to prepare foods using the Market vendors’ produce and foods to create dishes to sell. There will also be art and educational activities for kids, demos on topics such as food preservation and native gardening, and many other community events celebrating the Minnesota growers and makers that add beauty and bounty to the Twin Cities. Visitors will also be able to nosh on an array of foods cooked onsite by vendors including Golden’s Bagel Stand, operated by the family that owned the beloved Golden’s Deli.

“We stand in strong support of Minnesota small-ag and the farm families who comprise it,” said David Kotsonas, executive director of the Saint Paul Farmers’ Market. “Farmers Markets increase both the community’s access to the freshest and most nutritious foods, and the opportunities for local, independent food producers to succeed. We are committed to our growers and only offer locally grown produce and locally made foods and we are proud of the wide variety of quality foods available at our Markets, and are always looking to expand upon that variety.”

The Saint Paul Farmers’ Market opened more than 150 years ago and has become one of the most respected farmers’ markets in the Upper Midwest. The Saint Paul Growers’ Association, Inc., which operates the Market, allows only fresh, locally grown produce to be sold, directly from the grower to the consumer, making it unique among many farmers’ markets. The baked goods, artisan foods, confections and other products offered are produced locally or regionally as well.

Some of the Market’s vendors have sold there for many generations, such as the Gerten family that’s been involved since the late 1800s. Hmong immigrants Phoua Thao and Wang Ger Hang began selling their produce at the Market in 1991 and now their children and grandchildren are also involved in the family business. Daughter Pakou Hang is the co-founder of the Hmong American Farmers Association (HAFA)and her parents grow 40 different kinds of produce on 10 acres on the HAFA Farm, which they helped found in 2011 in Dakota County. The Market also features newer growers such as Nick Robinson of R & R Cultivation who began growing mushrooms last year in a 3’x3’ canvas closet and now offers many varieties including shiitake, oyster, lion’s mane and others, and whose business has grown exponentially in one year’s time. Rachael KraMer of My Goodness! Kombucha creates beverages and apothecary goods using unpasteurized kombucha made of local ingredients including herbs from her garden and she offers those and kombucha starter (SCOBY) at the Market.

In addition to the weekend downtown Saint Paul location, the Saint Paul Farmers’ Market operates neighborhood Markets in Roseville, Rosemount, Andover, Maplewood, Lakeville, South Saint Paul, West Saint Paul, Vadnais Heights, Burnsville, Apple Valley, Woodbury, Savage, and Inver Grove Heights. There are also weekday markets at Securian, 7^th Place and St. Thomas More in Saint Paul. The neighborhood markets will open in May and June and will operate into the fall. A Union Depot location will open in the fall. For a complete schedule and locations, visit http://www.stpaulfarmersmarket.com/index.php/locations.

Another unique aspect of the Saint Paul Farmers’ Market is a deep commitment to giving back to the community. Each Sunday during the growing season, the downtown outdoor Market donates unsold produce from the growers to the Neighborhood House food bank, averaging 8,000 pounds of produce each month. That location also offers nonprofits the opportunity to be at the Market to promote the work they do, and the neighborhood markets support nonprofits in their communities, too. The Market’s philanthropic focus is an area that Kotsonas and his team are growing, with new programs that foster greater community engagement and ways of giving back in each of the neighborhoods where the Markets are located.

The Market still has a few spaces for makers of locally sourced and produced food products. Visit http://www.stpaulfarmersmarket.com/index.php/membership to download a vendor application. The Saint Paul Farmers’ Market is located at 290 5^th Street East in downtown Saint Paul. For more information, visit www.stpaulfarmersmarket.com.

Rose and Melvin Smith: Remembering Rondo Weisman Art Museum 333 E River Pkwy Minneapolis, MN 55455

Event Details

Currently living in Eagan, MN, Melvin R. and Rose J. Smith were residents of St. Paul’s Rondo neighborhood for many years—Rose for most of her life and Melvin from 1963 to 1968. The Smiths’ artwork consists of urban scenes and portraits that present realist, expressionist, and at times allegorical takes on Black life in America. The works in this exhibition are drawn from their Rondo series—a sprawling body of work that stands as an elegiac anthem for that lost neighborhood and the enduring community that lives on in its wake.

From Melvin’s witty, unflinching collaged portraits and three-dimensional models of Rondo buildings to Rose’s touching portraits of family and joyful images of musicians, the work in the exhibition speaks to the complex gamut of life in Rondo and, by extension, the African American community writ large. Deeply committed to sharing the role of the Twin Cities in the larger history of civil rights, the Smiths insist this is more than a local story and that all of America needs to remember Rondo.

The Smiths have shown their work nationally for the past thirty-five years. Their artwork currently focuses on Minnesota and its largely unknown role in the American Civil Rights Movement and beyond. Focusing on their own lived experiences, the Smiths’ art offers an intimate view of everyday Black life in Rondo, and the rich histories embedded in those experiences. Their desire to preserve and trumpet the travails and triumphs of their community is testimony of their devotion to it. The Weisman is honored to present Remembering Rondo, illuminating and celebrating two of our state and region’s most important and prolific artists.
