One step closer to Mayur.

Kool!

Wow. That’s bad. At the bottom of the homepage of his website he puts in a plug for another Kurle who did the design work on the signs…
The logo is even permalinked at the top of his webpage, though the text says, “Vote JOE KURLE for Rosemount City Council.” Weird.

Joe Kurle: Bringing common cents back to politics.

Maybe he meant to misspell it to catch your eye!? You know when people purposely misspell words like “Vegies” instead of “Veggies” like the guy did on Hwy 3? Or, at least I hope that’s why he misspelled it…
funny.

This is why you can’t trust a spell checker with these things. Counsel is an actual word, after all, just not the one he wanted.
August 10th, 2010 at 1:54 pm
Yeah, maybe he wants to be the city attorney.

As a designer I have nightmares about making mistakes like this.

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/council
—Usage note
Council, counsel, and consul are not interchangeable. Council is a noun. Its most common sense is “an assembly of persons convened for deliberation or the like.” It is generally used with a singular verb. A member of such a group is a councilor. Counsel is both noun and verb. Its most common meaning as a noun is “advice given to another”: His counsel on domestic relations is sound. A person giving such advice is a counselor. In law, counsel means “legal adviser or advisers” and can be either singular or plural. As a verb, counsel means “to advise.” The noun consul refers to the representative of a government who guards the welfare of its citizens in a foreign country.

Id lik to coment but… I use the same dicktionary for my lbog.
August 10th, 2010 at 4:00 pm
Well, you’d probably hate spelling too if your last name was K-U-R-L-E…
“No, that is ‘curl’ with a K and an E…”
“Oh. Wait, what?”

A guy who is a partner in a local flooring company recently gave me a business card and under his name it said “Principle”. Maybe he meant that too.
August 10th, 2010 at 8:22 pm
The real truth is….. the logo designer misspelled it on the logo. Sadly, I reviewed the logo, but didn’t catch the error until after the signs were printed. So if any of you are wondering why the logo is “counsel” and the rest of my website spells it right, it’s because I didn’t catch the error in time.

Wow, HONESTY from a candidate running for city office. I can only dream of having that trait in a mayor and one specific counsel member in Burnsville.
August 10th, 2010 at 10:20 pm
I have to say, there was some good comments on my misspelling! Like the “bringing common cents back to politics”. Part of me would like to use that as a quote!
August 11th, 2010 at 8:19 am
Hopefully you got a discount from the logo designer.
August 11th, 2010 at 3:15 pm
Joe, dont beat yourself up over it. I am guessing 50% or more of the people who see the signs dont realize it is spelled incorrectly.
Pretty cool to just straight up admit your mistake though.
August 11th, 2010 at 3:16 pm
Looks like you made it through to the general election too? I’m assuming the top 4 candidates make it through if it’s for 2 seats.
August 11th, 2010 at 4:52 pm
Thanks, Chad. You’re right, Joey, I made it into the General Election. Now I have to kick it in high gear and go door knocking so people can get to know who I am.
August 12th, 2010 at 9:22 am
Best of luck, Jo! I only wish I lived in Rosemont so I could vote for Curl for Counsel, to! (LOL!)
August 12th, 2010 at 1:10 pm
Good luck Joe. I dont live in Rosemount, but have friends who do. I will put in a good word for you.
Can you imagine Mayor Kautz admitting to any sort of mistake so easily. The thought alone made me start laughing.
August 12th, 2010 at 1:12 pm
Chad,
I’m still waiting for her website to be updated with the fact that taxes are very likely to go up because the BPAC: http://www.lazylightning.org/elizabeth-kautz-lies-about-bpac-not-raising-taxes
August 12th, 2010 at 1:56 pm
I don’t know anything about Mayor Kautz, but we all know building a performing arts complex and maintaining it will cost money and government gets money from taxes.
Rosemount has done a good job maintaining the budget and I want to continue in that direction. The city also paid down their dept when they had a surplus, so now when there isn’t a surplus, the taxes were still able to go down! That’s smart financing!
August 12th, 2010 at 2:00 pm
JK,
With the problems associated with the BPAC in mind, what do you think about the recently acquired church in Rosemount which the city has plans to use for a similar purpose?
August 13th, 2010 at 10:43 am
Bill,
To be honest, it’s hard to say exactly what should be done with the church/performing arts center since I am not on the arts committee that is tasked with ideas on what to do with it. But with that said, I know some of what is going on. One of the concerns is bringing the building up to code, especially handicap accessible compliance. In my opinion, that will be the most difficult task.
Regarding taxes and converting expenses and how to operate a performing arts center, I would like to see a business take control and turn it into a performing arts center. The business can get revenue from the sale of tickets, etc. and the residents won’t be taxed to fund it.

Very interesting thred. Late in the game hear butt perhaps you can find it in your kind hart to foregive me. Their is no excuse four mispelling such a know brainer butt I believe all ewe peple are being to hard on the guy. I’d bet the average Joe on the street doesn’t know the difference between council and counsel. With things like Text-speak, email, blogs, and other new forms of communication, our written word is going to hell in a handbasket. I say lighten up lest I go back to every thread and check that you’ve made no misspellings or grammatical errors.
November 19th, 2010 at 4:28 pm
BTW, I did not vote for Joe.

Here’s the deal. Admittedly, some of us are a little too picky about spelling and grammar. Sometimes things are just typos, not mistakes (including by the picky folks). But in the big picture, people have a terrible enough time communicating with one another. If we don’t do our best to adhere to standardized communication, what is already iffy will become worse. People who don’t communicate well with each other tend to become hostile. If the language deteriorates, so do relationships.
BTW, those of you out there who missed the second grade, there is a difference between there, their, and they’re. So there. And like that.
November 21st, 2010 at 9:13 pm
You’re right, Sandy. Like I said in an earlier post, it was originally done by the logo designer who designed the sign and I reviewed it but never caught the spelling error. I looked at it dozens of times while making changes to the design.
Either way, what is done is done. I hope everyone enjoyed a laugh out of it. If you know me, you know I can take a joke and not be offended. I liked reading all the comments and jokes all of you wrote.
By the way, a special thanks to all of you that voted for me. Even though I came in 4th, I had a very strong showing of 2,675 votes! And if you didn’t vote for me…. I will hunt you down-NO, JUST KIDDING! I just hope you voted for someone. We had good candidates running for Rosemount city council (counsel, I mean).
