Poll: Jim Carlson »

This is the first in a series of polls I will be posting to try and get a sense of how the numbers break down on certain opinions that pop up on PDD. I’ve closed comments on this post, because the purpose here is boil things down, as much as possible, to a set of numbers.

For background and/or the opportunity to weigh in on this topic, visit the 12/07/2011 post: Is the Last Place on Earth ruining Duluth? If you want to point out a problem with the poll itself, feel free to email me at barrett@perfectduluthday.com.

The poll will close this Friday night/Saturday morning at 12:00am.

Should the Duluth Police Department return the money and property they seized from Jim Carlson last September?
