Best of the Northland

Don Ness

Well, well, well. The Don gets another win for “best politician” in our survey. We’re not sure what it would take for Don to lose this category. As the years pass, he becomes more personable and displays selflessness and integrity. While Congress gives themselves raises while simultaneously stripping its citizens of our rights, what does the Donster do? Oh, he’ll probably be working at making Duluth a nicer, better, greener city. Offer him a well-deserved raise and he declines it. If anything, Donny is NOT cut out for politics, he’s too clean, respectable and well spoken. While a politician lMichelle Bachmann spouts out things that don’t make sense, Don has managed to show he has both a big heart, big smile and common sense while standing firm on certain issues. We must admit that we haven’t been hit up by a pan handler, watched someone vomit in the street or witnessed agitated people scream at each other outside a certain business that has been closed down for awhile. Don is an approachable guy you can sit and have a beer with or see him out at the ice caves with his family.
