Keep talking, people.&#8221; I&#8217;d also like to especially thank Nate who tweeted during the meeting. A reporter and photographer from the Star Tribune were also present, so keep eyes peeled for a story.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, this was just an input session, we&#8217;ll need a big turnout at the EMID board meeting next Wednesday as well.
