  •  “St. Thomas facing fresh campus development controversy,” Pioneer Press, October 22, 2010. “St. Thomas has drawn up preliminary plans to pave 30 percent to 40 percent of the lot and build a set of six outdoor tennis courts near the Brady Educational Center.

  • “Taxes count, but their effects are complicated,” Star Tribune, October 22, 2010. “We think Minnesota voters are smart enough to handle the truth -- that there's ambiguity around how the state might best balance its budget with the least negative impact on economic performance.” Commentary by Marsha Blumenthal, professor emerita of economics.

  • “A life committed to leading by the Book,” Star Tribune, October 27, 2010. “Archbishop John Nienstedt is riding out several controversies of his own making. Amid a furious response, he remains collected, calm and resolved. Those who know him well say that's no surprise.”
  • “John Spry: The worst tax proposal in Minnesota,” Pioneer Press, October 27, 2010. “My research shows that this tax on loans would be one of the most regressive taxes in Minnesota.
