Margaret Anderson Kelliher Working Hard to Meet the People

Wow. Look at this public events listing. This weekend Margaret Anderson Kelliher was all over the place. She’s working very hard to meet and talk with us.
She’s been talking with farmers and farmer’s market folks, knocking on (thousands of) doors, meeting with the senior caucus, walking the Saint Anthony Park Arts Festival, [...]

Margaret Anderson Kelliher, the day after the legislative session ends.

Here’s what I got from MAK today, describing what went down in this year’s legislative session (2010).  I find it pretty impressive:
