*Update to the paragraph below: Our case was
"dismissed without prejudice" in District Court on Feb. 17 due to some
procedural questions; we'll be re-filing the case shortly, and look
forward to your support and encouragement. Stay tuned to ericringsred.com for
details in the ongoing saga.
At 3:30 p.m. Wed., Feb. 17, 2010, Dr. Eric Ringsred and Marilyn Campetti will
square off against the City of Duluth in District Court over the right of the
City and builders to impair important scenic resources, without sufficient
environmental review, in violation of State law. Come and lend your support: St.
Louis County Courthouse, 3rd Floor, Courtroom #2, Judge Eric Hylden presiding. [

constructed 3800 W. Skyline Drive in Duluth, although within current code,
completely blocks the view from this historic Minnesota Scenic Byway.

On Liberty, and Liberalism ... |
"When I say Liberty, I mean liberty of the individual to think his own
thoughts and live his own life as he desires to think and live."
"Liberalism implies particularly freedom of thought, freedom from
orthodox dogma, the right of others to think differently from one's self. It
implies a free mind, open to new ideas ..."
—John F. Kennedy, Profiles in Courage, quoting Republican Sen. Robert A. Taft |
