A press release from state Sen. Tom Bakk, DFL-Cook:

In an effort to protect our lakes and rivers from invasive species, I have introduced a bill, S.F. 2890, placing a 5-year moratorium on new public boat access. Invasive species are nonnative species that cause ecological or economic problems.

I was driving to work today and I started kicking around an idea in my head: an election season mixtape. The idea came up when I was listening to yet another boring (to me) report from the Democratic National Convention. My mind drifted off to presidential election campaign songs, and from there it was a quick jump to making my own election playlist.
