Hail to the Victors

Democrats have taken control of the Minnesota House and Senate, anf the US House (and maybe the US Senate); some kind of a track record they have going for them:

The list is based on a city’s rate for six basic crime categories: Murder, rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary and motor vehicle theft. All cities of 75,000+ populations that reported crime data to the FBI for the six crime categories were included in the rankings.”
