NEGATIVE ATTACK BLOG ON MAYOR COLEMAN
I did some digging and there are a blog and website that is attacking St. Paul Chris Coleman but who was behind that? Its called "My Mayor is Cheating on Me."
People who created that website are totally stupid. I have ran for public office three times in the past and used better common sense not to attack my opponents. Where are their common sense of clean campaign?
It look like St. Paul politics won't be that pretty this year so wait and see what happen. It is horrible thing to do before this saturday's St. Paul City DFL Convention.

FUNERAL NOTICE/OBITBUARY FOR JOAN LEVASSEUR

Joan Helen LeVasseur (July 23, 1982 - March 13, 2009)
Joan Helen LeVasseur was born July 23, 1982 at the University of Minnesota Hospital in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Joan was the victim of a hit and run accident on March 6, 2009 as she was crossing the street in Apple Valley, Minnesota. She passed away March 13, 2009 at Hennepin County Medical Center in Minneapolis, having reached the age of 26 years.
Joan was born deaf and during her early school years attended Como School for the Deaf in St. Paul, Minnesota. The family then moved to the Faribault, Minnesota area so that Joan and her brother, Luke, could attend school at the Minnesota State Academy for the Deaf in Faribault. Joan graduated from there in 2002.
Joan touched so many people with her bright brown eyes and beautiful smile. She had numerous friends from the MSAD and lived her life to the fullest. Joan was a very kind and caring person who loved animals and children. She never missed a chance to spend time with her family she loved so dearly and who loved her just as much. She always had a big smile and a hug for you and gave the “I Love You” sign every time she came and left family gatherings. The entire family will feel a huge void in their lives without Joan’s presence, and will miss her dearly.
Joan is survived by her mother and stepfather: Patricia & Bob Boever, of Eagan, MN; her father, Leo LeVasseur of Elk River, MN; brothers Ross (Lori )LeVasseur of Monticello, Luke LeVasseur of Waite Park, MN, and Josh Boever of Montrose, MN; nephews Collin & Spencer Levasseur, niece Paige LeVasseur, aunts and uncles: Teresa & Jim Zakrzewski of Maplewood.
