Thanks Nancy for the pro-park in downtown comment. We just got out of the Opening General Address where we heard about the economy and its impact on city government - I am unhappy to report that as you might suspect - it is not a pretty picture.
The Festival of Lights I reported is really the Festival of Trees - what a show! and there are tons of lights besides - quite impressive. It's fun watching you all comment on the presidency, etc. I am keeping notes and passing them on to DZ. Sandy Colvin Roy, Joan Campbell and Sharon Sayles-Belton have joined us in Atlanta. Both Joan and Sharon did tons of work (and are very well respected) in this organization and are both in positions on committees. I hear Sharon will be giving a "swan song" on the Human Development committee where she worked tirelessly for families and children. Lots of people here know Sharon and her work and have been surprised in the reports of the new changes in Minneapolis. For the moment, from Atlanta, Annie Young Ward 6 - East Phillips _______________________________________ Minneapolis Issues Forum - A Civil City Civic Discussion - Mn E-Democracy Post messages to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subscribe, Unsubscribe, Digest option, and more: http://e-democracy.org/mpls
