MinnPost’s latest donor, Garrison Keillor
When asked why he decided to support us, he sent this note:
Guilt, pure plain guilt. I read MinnPost every day, especially the roundups of Minnesota news in The Glean and Greater Minnesota and Minnesota Blog Cabin. I am, for now, completely burnt out on politics and just want to read about real lives up here in the Snow Belt. Just finished a terrific book, BOOTSTRAPPERS by Mardi Link, about a single mom in Upper Michigan trying to raise three boys on a farm. No idea whatsoever what her politics might be, but it was a gripping story. So I skip the Michele Bachmann stories and Senator Klobuchar’s interest in a presidential run and zero in on People Dealing With Real Stuff.Swoon.
