Van Presley - 8th District
SNAPSHOT
Van Presley is the Green Party candidate for
the 8th District congressional seat, now held by Democrat James Oberstar.
According to his campaign Web site, Presley says he is running for office, "because we need a broader debate in order to challenge the establishment politicians, because of their ties to big-money. Citizens need to ask, 'Why are things getting worse instead of better?'"
"We need policies that address the failures of the marketplace by 1) building a universal, single-payer, publicly-funded health care system that honors choice, 2) guaranteeing free public education, pre-kindergarten through college, 3) guaranteeing full employment at living wages and high-quality, affordable childcare, 4) restoring the environment by investing in safe, clean, renewable energy."

Tolls for thee, Minnesota?
In the next couple of years, Minnesotans could be paying tolls to use certain metropolitan highway lanes. State and federal lawmakers are considering plans to charge lane fees to relieve congestion and fund new road projects. The proposal is part of a mix of highway development and financing plans announced by Gov. Tim Pawlenty's administration and legislators from both parties. (04/24/2003)
