Good morning and welcome to Al Jazeera America, im stephanie sy. The deep freeze spreading across the country is now impacting 187 million americans in 26 states. Many places are experiencing recordlow temperatures usually found in the north and south poles and the monday temperature was minus 37 in minnesota. Records for the day were set in chicago where it was 16 below. And tulsa, oklahoma where it was minus two. All of the temperatures dont take the biting wind into account which makes it feel even worse. We have Live Team Coverage of the dangerous cold weather and erica is in new york which dropped 40 degrees over the last 24 hours but we begin with tonya mosley in detroit where right now its 13 below 0 and she is outside. Good morning, tonya. Good morning, its hard to describe what sub zero temperatures feel like. The only word i can think of is painful. As i was heading out this morning, i tried to open the front door and it was frozen and once i got outside it wasnt much better.
Speak commissioners, let me state something categorically. This commission did not pay detail attention when one of the deans was there, the southeast. Committed so the very nefarious activities for which she was removed. This is what perturbs the community when we see any changes made irrespective of whether they are holistic or not and if they are not brought before the community in a wholesome manner, it disturbs us.

I dont go to the Southeast Commission meetings. Why . Look at the people who are appointed. Look at the chair. She doesnt even understand english. So you go there to blah blah blah whatever, you might have chickens cackling there. We need to treat the community with respect. Fault

We almost always get what we think were going to get but then theres always Something Else that follows on. And one is, the behavior of voters with an expectation, particularly in an era of egovernment. Why shouldnt my records and ballots be available where ever i choose to go . The second thing, and military installations if you want to improve the child halls, the general always makes the food better. One of the things i think is interesting with Election Officials is how many of us vote on election day. How many of us experience that line, that q. And the answer is, most of us vote absentee because of that responsibility. So one of the things ive tried to do over the years is ideal in advance to ago and i stand in line and i learned a lot. I learnt a lot by listening to people, but that may be something as a professional goal for each of us is ex

I have one item to jonathans list of policies that have been conflictual, socialist invention of the subtle dimension in its rate to were, which is huge in a lot of ways and i think to be seen to things over the coming years of american federalism. One is distasteful split on more and more of these issues along sectional lines and second, among the states and the federal government that will become more conflictual and i believe thats all to the good. Will receive complete hodgepodge of coalitions on different issues . Are we seeing a different pattern quick no, i havent followed the mayor wanted name, but if you look at labor, the environment playing out that way, a variety of social and cultural issues is always, importantly health care you mentioned is always the same coalition for certain stability there and a huge overlap and thats a terrific thing.
