Posted on August 26, 2009 by kwilder

KW: Below is an article I wrote for Independent Political Report: While the mainstream news reports on Papa John’s pizza, and its founder’s retrieved Camaro, the political world has been percolating the story about a unique, independent candidate running for Mayor of Minneapolis, who happens to be called “Papa John.” Papa John Kolstad received his […]

Excellent coverage–including video–of single-payer folks who […]
