  1. sad, Mr Ramos, to read about how you’re using a reputation as an investigative journalist to start picking fights at the county meetings about this BS coronavirus…. i would be equally outraged at the treatment by the security staffer and the locked doors- for certain. But I feel bad for the up-north commissioners who have to put up with the nonsense from the likes of Patrick Boyle and other reject politicos from the south-east portion of the county…

    However, your attitude about coronavirus self screening is ridiculous. By your logic, everyone should submit to a test before they go anywhere or be around anyone, because nowhere is safe. Everyone is an enemy or potential threat, and they should know better !! Looks like you drank the kool aid and are full on exposed to the psychological warfare being perpetrated by design against you and I… wake up man!!! How should the county handle this- should they test their employees twice per day?

    Its funny how people get up in arms about dog owners who muzzle their pups, saying it is inhumane, but then are first in line to put on their own muzzle and stymie their own respiration.. We are responsible for our own health, period. Also why don’t you look into what a “Polymerase Chain Reaction Test”- PCR test- really is. Its unreliable at best. Much of the hoopla is simply a lie.

    Glad I never contributed to what turns out to be this yellow journalism you publish, which has led only to local outrage but nothing even close to substantive change in “business as usual” affairs in Duluth. Beautiful town, but some dumbass people from the top on down…. I took some advice a while ago– “Avoid Democrat cities like the plague”

  2. Yellow journalism is made up facts or stretching facts to the ludicrous. Reporting recorded facts and voicing an opinion is not Yellow.

    I assume that this treatment is typical by City Hall types to stifle negative public input or critical eye reporting. It also shows that government employees rarely subject themselves to rules they require of the general public. The issue is not whether you believe in Covid safeguards or not. All people attending should be treated equally. When public employees and figures are made to live by the rules they pass, less restrictive means would probably prevail.
