  • 2015 Annual Report a Note from Our Board Chair
    Our River. Our Community. 2015 ANNUAL REPORT A NOTE FROM OUR BOARD CHAIR DEAR FRIENDS, During a recent hike in Patagonia South America, my guide, who spoke little English, asked, “Where are you from in the USA?” “Minnesota” I replied. He shook his head indicating unfamiliarity. A few minutes later he suddenly inquired, “Mississippi River?” “Yes,” I said, “the Mississippi River begins in Minnesota.” This was a powerful reminder that our local Mississippi is one of the world’s great rivers. Back here at home, it’s exciting to see this recognition increasingly take hold. More and more, communities that once turned their back to the river now turn their gaze towards the river’s majestic beauty. Thanks to all of you — Friends of the Mississippi River members, donors volunteers and advocates — who have fueled this river renaissance. Project by project, community by community, we are building momentum for a healthier, more vibrant metro Mississippi River. In 2015: • A record 7,142 people helped restore habitat or learned about the river with FMR. • Ecological restoration progressed on 21 sites totaling a record 1,014 acres. • The upper St. Anthony Falls Lock was closed preventing invasive Asian YOU! carp from progressing upstream.

  • Foreword and Table of Contents
    Minnesota Legislative Manual Compiled for the Legislature of 2015-2016 Prepared pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section 5.08 Published by the Office of the Minnesota Secretary of State Saint Paul, Minnesota Printed by Anderberg Innovative Print Solutions St. Louis Park, Minnesota Dedication of Blue Book To my fellow Minnesotans: I’m honored to present the 2015-2016 edition of the Minnesota Legislative Manual – also known as the “Blue Book.” As always, the Blue Book is a comprehensive guide to our government in Min- nesota. But it’s more than just a listing of offices, names, and biographies. It also contains interesting information about Minnesota’s history, culture, institutions, and profile. Since my days as a student, growing up in Hopkins, Minnesota, I’ve been a regular user of the Blue Book. I hope this edition will continue to be a trusted resource for people all over Minnesota, as it has been since the 1870s. I’m pleased to dedicate this edition of the Blue Book in honor of the 50th anniversary of the Voting Rights Act and the Minnesotans who made it a reality. A core mission of the Office of Secretary of State is to protect and strengthen the right to vote, so honoring the passage of that landmark legisla- tion, as well as the Minnesotans who fought tirelessly for equality and justice, is fitting and impor- tant. When President Lyndon Johnson signed the Voting Rights Act into law in 1965, he called it “a triumph for freedom as huge as any victory that has ever been won on any battlefield.” Before the law, many states openly suppressed the votes of African-Americans and other communities of color.

  • Hotdish Off 2013
    2013 Recipes 1 HOTDISH OFF 2013 Senator Franken’s Minnesota Congressional Delegation Hotdish Off From church suppers and school potlucks, to family reunions, “hotdish” has been a Minnesota tradition for generations. To those who don’t speak “Minnesotan,” it’s a lot like a casserole that “goes real good” with jello or a salad, along with bars (pan-baked cookies) for dessert. This book of recipes will give everyone a taste of this culinary staple that for years has satisfied the hunger of Minnesotans in small farming communities and large cities alike. Last year, Sen. Franken’s “Mom’s Mahnomin Madness Hotdish” and former Rep. Chip Cravaack’s “Minnesota Wild Strata Hotdish” tied for first place. Sen. Klobuchar took top honors in 2011 with her “Taconite Tater-Tot Hotdish.” On April 10th, 2013, Senator Al Franken hosted Senator Amy Contents Klobuchar and Representatives Collin Representative Tim Walz’s Hermann the German Hotdish . 1 Peterson, Betty McCollum, Michele Bachmann, Keith Ellison, Tim Walz, Representative Rick Nolan’s ‘Real Deal’ Ranger Hot Dish . 2 Rick Nolan, and Erik Paulsen for a Representative Collin Peterson’s Easter Ham and Cheese Hotdish 4 bipartisan and bicameral Minnesota Congressional delegation Representative Michele Bachmann’s Southwest Metro Hotdish . 5 Hotdish Off.

  • The Political Process
    1980-81 Institute of Politics John F.Kennedy School of Government Harvard University PROCEEDINGS Institute of Politics 1980-81 John F. Kennedy School of Government Harvard University FOREWORD Here is Proceedings '81, the third edition of this annual retrospective of the Institute of Politics. It serves the function of an annual report, but it is more than that. Part One, "Readings," is a sampling of written and spoken words drawn from the many formats of Institute activity: panel discussions and speeches in our Forum, dialogue among conference participants, an essay from a faculty study group, stu­ dent writing from the Harvard Political Review, personal evalutions from a summer intern and from our resident Fellows, and so forth. They contain impassioned rhetoric from controversial figures as well as opinion and analysis from less well- known individuals. This year we even have a poem and a little humor. Taken together, the "Readings," represent a good cross-section of what happens here. Part Two, 'Programs," is a record of all the events sponsored by the Institute dur­ ing the 1980-81 academic year. This section delineates the participation of hundreds of individuals who together make the Institute the lively, interactive place that it is. Although they are not all captured on tape or on paper, their contributions make this place come alive, and this listing is a recognition of that. Thus, the annual editions of Proceedings provide an ongoing portrait of the In­ stitute of Politics. I hope you find it both informative and enjoyable.
