It's another smoky hell of a day in North St. Paul, MN. This city is a nightmare thanks to our four city council members. A smoky, polluted hell of a nightmare from which you never wake. We got less than 12 hours of fresh air today. With the Labor Day holiday weekend, it is going to be a smoky hell all over the city.
