MINNEAPOLIS - The city of Minneapolis is spending nearly $200,000 to sell something that would seem to sell itself: tap water.

I guess we're not in a recession after all...

How many poor and children could be fed for $180,000?
at least they’ll have plenty of delicious water.
Except for those summer weeks when it’s not.
Flush twice St. Cloud. Minneapolis is going to start drinking more.
whenever you see stuff like this you have to look for the kickback (and some hot PR babe spending a lot of personal time with a politician...)
