I just wanted to clarify some information in today's Strib article regarding NRP.
It is reported that, "The handful of such [neighborhood] groups that have responded generally favor the plan." This does not match the information provided to me and indicates more support IMHO for the idea than may actually exist. In my official "board packet" I found copies of 13 written responses on the proposal from neighborhood organizations and one from the chief of police. The chief and 5 'hoods we clearly in favor, five were clearly opposed, with one offering what I read as conditional opposition and two with conditional support. As one who does not support the proposal in its current form, I may be seeing more opposition than others might, but, even in the best case for the supporters, it still appears to be 7 for and six against by my count. It should be an interesting discussion this afternoon or early evening. The meeting starts at 4:30 p.m. in the Henn. Co. Gov. Center Conference Room C - 2350. And thanks for all your comments off list on this one. They have been very helpful. in cooperation, Cam Cam Gordon Seward Neighborhood, Minneapolis, Ward 2 SD 59 (612) 332-6210, 296-0579, 339-2452 TEMPORARY REMINDER: 1. Don't feed the troll!
