Vice President Visit
 

Vice President Joe Biden came to central Minnesota today.

A full house was on hand for the Vice President's town-hall style meeting in St. Cloud

The focus of the meeting today was the ways the middle-class can benefit from the $787 billion stimulus measure President Obama signed last month. 

Local residents had a chance to speak directly to the Vice President and other officials. 

The session was held at New Flyer of America Bus Company, which produces low-emission, alternative fuel vehicles. 

More than 90 people were hired there last year. 

It's 650 employees are working to fill a two-year backlog of orders.
