in 1914 Henry Ford introduced the $5 a-day minimum wage. Some people with disabilities work all day long in a "sheltered workshop" making less than $5 per day....this is something that we could change before 2014....
in 1933 the first day of excavation for the Golden Gate Bridge, still a wonder and beauty of the world. I drove over it in August...an amazing site....
in 1925 Nellie Tayloe Ross became the first woman governor of a state (Wyoming!) --- yeah for the wild west....let's hope by 2025 we can have a woman as president!
in 2009 the Minnesota State Canvassing Board certifies Al Franken as the winner of the U.S. Senate race.... who knows what year it will be when the legal battles end.
