Dakota County (south suburban Saint Paul) is the first Minnesota county to use Pictometry for law enforcement and property assessments.

Brandeis'?s metaphor of the states as "laboratories" for policy experiments ... had almost nothing to do with federalism and everything to do with his commitment to scientific socialism. ....
