The Republicans have endorsed marijuana legalization advocate Tom Gallagher for Minnesota’s House of Representatives in South West Minneapolis district 61B. Tom joins Bob Davis for coffee to talk about his journey from Democrat to Republican, South West Minneapolis Politics, and more. Coverage of election 2014 for the Bob Davis Podcasts will take some interesting turns. We’ll interview people in interesting situations across the state and country as 2014 progresses. This interview highlights some of the issues driving metropolitan politics these days. What some might not know about this race is that Tom Gallagher is opposing the sitting Speaker of the House Paul Thissen. Republicans in this district usually get somewhere around twenty percent of the vote. If Gallagher does better than that, or beats Thissen, it will be news. Sponsored by Baklund R & D.

Kick off the weekend with an update on stories we’re watching at The Bob Davis Podcasts. For one thing, a spring snow storm has dumped at least a foot of snow on the Twin Cities, which will completely screw up the commute for Friday, April 4th. With the worst winter in 100 years, Global Warming scientists are threatening to ‘go on strike’ and ‘march in the streets’. Really? The Met Council here in the Twin Cities has decided to screw the rich people in Kenwood, and around Cedar Lake, much to the chagrin of Minneapolis’ new Mayor, Betzy Hodges. What’s funny is, all these people supported LRT as long as it was destroying someone else’s neighborhood. Plus, find out who’s behind legalizing marijuana (hint; NOT the Koch brothers), beware the ‘Ring Of Fire’, NOW you understand why we should have let GM go bankrupt the old fashioned way, not with a government bail out, Iran’s new Ambassador to the UN is a … wait for it … terrorist, and more.
