Local dispatches

Just yesterday, I read Barbara Erenrieich's piece in the New York Times about the criminalization of poverty.

Today, I read this in St. Paul's Highland Villager's crime report column:

A man was cited for indecent exposure at a laundromat on the 600 block of West 7th Street about 3:30 p.m. Friday, July 10. He was waiting with no pants on while the ones he had been wearing were in the washing machine.
