Vote 2010 St. Paul / Coleman scores a 2nd term as mayor

St. Paul will get four more years of Chris Coleman. The 48-year-old Democrat easily won Tuesday's election over Eva Ng, a 51-year-old business executive who had never run for office.

[St Paul Voter]

Better luck next time, Senkler, Costello and the owner of the auto body shop on Dale and Selby!

Angry businessmen who don't reside in this city just can"t win!

Hahaha!!!

[Mr R]

Victory parade down University Ave would be fitting.

[sickofitall]

nice voter turn-out st paul....glad to see so many people care about this city. good luck.

[stpaulguy]

I wouldn't taunt the tax base that funds Coleman's idiotic pet projects, they might just move their business's out of the city. Then what will you do? Let me guess threaten to close schools, libraries, rec centers? Oh wait they alreadt tried that!

I hope he continues to jack taxes through the roof on the stupid people of St. Paul. Anyone who voted for this clown deserves what they get.

[Unknown Comic]

Lets hope Mayor Coleman can learn to change his own diapers now and stop beggin T-Paw for a bailout each year

[Kent]

I voted for the other candidate. It still amazes me why anyone would vote this Tax raising puke in to office.

[Indeed]

It seems there's a city full of people that have yet to learn that not everyone can ride in the wagon; someone has to pull it.
That or they assume they can squeal louder and louder for LGA.
Business owners - real ones, not the government prop-ups, real estate investments, productive, employed families and individuals will leave at an accelerated rate.
The people had a chance to step up, and move forward, and let it slip away.
Throw in the IRV scam, and it's a cowardly new world
Welcome to Detroit on the Mississippi.

"Victory"?? for what, exactly?
Those seeing a victory in the election outcome will show up riding pack mules, and oxen.

[Numbskulls]

St.Paul, a one party town. Hopeless

[st paulite]

Well - apparently not as many cared as you thought Ms. Ng. It's all good to talk about property tax freezes or cuts but I never heard any ideas from you about how you'd keep the police funded, the libraries open, the snow plowed. We care about those things, too.

[felipe calderon]

lowest voter turn out and this politician calls it a victory, how sad and nobody cares that people don`t vote, I always vote.

Exactly!!! The City of St. Paul is allowing 25% of the registered voters to dictate policy. With that level of involvement maybe the Mayor of St. Paul should be a Dictator. The citizens of the city probably wouldn't notice.

[WATB Republicans]

Boo-hoo. The do-nothing, obstructionist knuckle dragging republicans are whining about their precious Eva Ng. Too bad. She is, along with most republicans, a one-trick pony. Tax freezes, tax cuts, blah..blah..blah. She never gave an inkling as to what exactly she was going to cut and still keep the essentials going. She is a business owner who is only concerned about lining her pockets and the pockets of her friends/supporters. Good riddance.

With the level of voter turn out I'd say that nobody really cared for either side

It was a big night in Mpls and SP for empty suits and metrosexuals.

Goodrich Ave Pavers: that's three words that would have saved $200,000.. One can only guess about all the other wasteful happy bs out there.

Millions spent to move huge downtown buildings and then selling the at a loss,

paying for brick street pavers rather than cheaper, longer-lasting concrete,

expensive bandshells that a seldom ever used (Raspeberry & Harriet Island),

$100K/year for "Human Rights Coordinator" at City Hall to protect the public from the Easter Bunny and Poinsettias ,crews and special equipment to water hanging baskets, "sanctuary city" status to ensure illegal aliens come and use government schools and services without being hassled...I could go on. Yeah, no waste in St.Paul

Oh goody,4 more years of "It's Pawlenty's fault.
