Negative comments from one taxpayer is not representation of all taxpayers. Just because there aren't a lot of pro comments doesn't mean we don't exist.

Thank you Mr. Sodermann! I have been in the work force for thirty plus years. Three of the companies I have worked for are Fortune 500 companies. In two out of the three, every employee has been required to attend sexual harassment training, which later was just called harassment training. This goes back to the early 80's. Using foul language is very much considered a form of harassment if it falls on the ears of someone who is offended. My current employer has a zero tolerance policy and this could be grounds for dismissal. Perhaps the schools need to adopt some type of similar training where each student signs off that they received the training and that they understand what the consequences are. Similar to what parents and students have to do for sports conduct. As far as the punishment goes, perhaps a team of students and parents should write the consequences/punishment. If we are truly training our children for the future this needs to be dealt with immediately. It will not be tolerated when they go to work. Actions speak volumes.

Thanks saywhat. You are correct. The reasoning behind secrecy and being off site is no email, no interruptions, and no cell phones/blackberry's. This results in 100% focus on the topic of the meeting. It's done routinely.

The last Coke franchise that still bottles in the 'real' glass bottles is in Winona. MN. We go there twice a year to buy the 6 oz bottles and 12 oz bottles of Coke for our antique coke machine. There's just one small hitch, you have to bring your own bottles. They need to be the original return for deposit bottles. There's nothing like it to drink an icey cold bottle of Coke. We love it.

Perhaps I am dating myself, Willie Nelson was a big draw as was Ricky Nelson. Seems like Kenney Chesney was here too.

I am a loyal supporter of the products this company makes. I have so many things that my home could be a remote show room for them. I wish Steve, Laury, and all other employees the best thoughts possible as they go through this process.

On Schneider National cuts top speed to 60 mph

How drivers are paid depends on the company. Some are paid by the mile and by the hour. The hourly pay comes in when they have dock time loading or unloading, and waiting for their load to be ready. Lowering the mph by 3 wouldn't mean less pay because they still have to get to their destination. In a ten hour day, it would add 30 minutes to their destination. As far as road rage goes, that type of driver shows rage against all other drivers - not just truckers.

I think the Gazette should do some good old fashion investigative reporting on the people who can not refrain from writing idiotic comments on the news.
