Controversy is local, Congress is vocal
It’s a public place for all to visit
Find a book, go outside and look

And a word on a hunting tool; you may think it’s cool
But this time, if you want to find it you can’t
Explanation:
The first stanza makes reference to the library, which is across the street from the treasure location. The second stanza reminds hunters not to disturb the flowers and plants near the treasure.

You call the raise, you go to the woods for days
Was it Truman? Yes. You’re in the Navy, I guess.
Now it’s firsts, the Yankee Clipper bursts
And our former AG, she’s quite the lady

A summer tradition, the 30th edition
A tournament at a big mall - not near St. Paul
Will it be the Bulldogs, Rangers, or maybe the Wings?
Or, will it be a team without a mascot thing?

There were some famous ten year old names
Who were elite - even in these games
The likes of Mittelstadt, Zucker, your clue writer too
Looking between is the important clue
Explanation:
The first stanza makes Reference to SSP City Council Members (in clue order) Bill FLATley, Joe FORESTer, Sharon DEWEY, Tom SEAberg, JOE (Dimaggio) Kaliszewki, and LORI (Swanson) Hansen. The second and third stanzas Reference the Brick hockey tournament held at the Edmonton Mega Mall each summer, to which your clue writer played in back in 1992.
