Actually higher taxes is not the answer to this one. The Park Board has until Nov. 1, 2006 to settle this claim. In the meantime, we will be trying to sell the building or come up with the revenue from the building in one way or another that would get us this $900,000. By about next June we will be looking at all our options which as a last resort includes paying out of our self-insurance fund by the Nov. 1 deadline. Annie Young Citywide Park Commissioner

Minneapolis Issues, Like all cases the government settles and the tax-payer pays the bill through higher taxes. I have always been astounded at the number of settlements our city has to pay out every year. The police department seems to take on the brunt of these complaints-settlements but other city departments have not been immune to this problem. How does our city compares to other cities in our state or of similar size in the US? Are we average, or do we have significantly more complaints/settlements then other cities or similar size?
