Hard rock: The Timberjay has filed a lawsuit, through the Minnesota Newspaper Association under the freedom of information act. So far, the Timberjay has prevailed, but Johnson Controls has appealed along the way. The case will now be heard by the Minnesota Supreme Court when they get around to it. The case has merit, and should be upheld. But who knows?

Tower was indeed punished the most. The beautiful original 1917 section, along with the grand piano was demolished without remorse by JCI. The pool was also demolished. And you are right, it was in retribution.

I don't realistically know how Tower, Cook and Orr can survive. I can guarantee you one thing...Gary Albertson and Johnson Controls don't care. Nor does Troy Swanson, school board member from the Tower-Soudan school attendance area, whose constituency voted 9-1 AGAINST the bond referendum that closed the Tower school. Yet he consistently votes with the members of the board that supported the closing and against his community. That is, when he is well enough to show up at meetings.
