"Once again this week we had to be in two places at once in order to cover West St. Paul City Council and ISD [---] School Board. Our coverage is freely available but it's not free.

Starts at $5 a month and you keep your neighbors informed (see link in bio). #wsp #weststpaul #weststpaulmn #mendotaheights #eagan #isd197 #schooldistrict197"
