Minnesota is a great state

I was just recently in the state of Minnesota for medical help at the Mayo clinic. I flew into Minneapolis and drove down to Rochester. I have to say that Minnesota was the cleanest, nicest state I've ever seen. The people I met and talked to, who were natives, which were many, were the friendliest, happiest folks I've ever met. I've lived in 5 different states over my 48 years and find the people in Minnesota to be the most progressive I've ever met. You should take great pride in yourselves and your state. I'm sure you're state has had it's growing pains and problems, but believe me, you live in a real gem of a place. I know the weather isn't great but believe me, weather isn't always the only factor when it comes to liveability. I live where the sun shines more than 200 days per year and with it comes too many other negatives, too many people who don't care about where they live, crime, grafitti, pollution etc. etc. I'd take what you have in Minnesota over "sunshine" anyday!
