ReplyThe word from Mike McIntee at The UpTake is that "the feed from outside the MN House chambers is spotty because there are so many people using the wifi. We're working on improving it."

If we report about a misdemeanor at Fridley Patch, in general we name the defendant only if the person is a public figure. In this case, Mauer is a public figure because he is head varsity football coach at a local high school (as well as having been a St. Paul City Council member, although only for a very short time).

I poked around but it seems to be too pre-internet for there to be much of a trail about where he grew up or went to school. I believe you though!

The St. Paul Pioneer Press has a statement from Hill-Murray School President Dr. Susan Paul:
"I want to share with you some distressing news regarding our school and make you aware of an alleged incident involving Hill-Murray staff member and head football coach, Mark Mauer, that is being reported in the press. ... I want to be clear that this incident is not related in any way to Hill-Murray, our students, or Mr. Mauer's work responsibilities. Nor will this incident affect the high quality education that our families expect at Hill-Murray School. We ask for your prayers for all members of the Hill-Murray School community."
The Pioneer Press article also says Mauer's time on the city council was brief: only a few weeks before he left for the New Mexico State job.

Thank you for your comment, Amber. It must have been very scary to see. I was very glad to find out and report that the person lived.

Thank you for the correction. I have removed the listing in the table that read "SuperAmerica, 4375 O'Day Ave. NE, $3.99." Gas Buddy's information comes from customers who submit prices they've seen locally, with separate listings for regular, midgrade, premium and diesel. It's possible a diesel entry got listed with prices for regular.
