GO DON!!! Re: [Mpls] Third ward race
I have purposefully stayed out of the 3rd ward race after the dismal showing that Shane Price had in the primary. I have been torn about who I would support in the Feb 3rd election. I am extremely active in the Sheridan Neighborhood, where Olin Moore has lived for three years, but I did not know who the hell he was till he decide to run for the 3rd Wards seat. Supporters for Don Samules are all over the map, from Natalie Johnson Lee and Shane Price to Barb Johnson, Barett Lane and Valdis Rosentals, I am wary about support from such a wide group of political strata. I want to thank Phyllis Kahn for helping me make up my mind. As one of the plaintiffs that have filed suit over the redistricting ward boundaries I do not see how an election can happen using these disputed boundaries when citizens in MPLS have not had our day in court about the legalities of these new boundaries. I firmly join the ranks to 3rd warders standing behind Don Samules and I urge all others to do the same. GO DON!!! tom taylor Sheridan Neighborhood The situation is a mess and is made messier if there is no election until 2005. My preference, besides my judgement on the quality of the candidates, is to elect someone who lives in both the old and the new ward. I agree that everyone should have appropriate representation as soon as possible, which is why I want an election in 2003, a position supported by Olin Moore and avoided by Samuels (to my knowledge). I also want council members to care about the whole city (and even the state and the nation) and I take nothing away from Samuels for the good work he has done in his neighborhood.

[Mpls] a question for O. Moore and D. Samules
If folks from each campaign could get this question to the candidates for the 3rd Ward council seat I would be grateful. There is movement in MPLS to introduce and pass a resolution in the city council to opposing those parts of the USA PATRIOT and Homeland Security Acts, and associated orders and directives that threaten our Constitutionally guaranteed Civil Rights. If Don Samules or Olin Moore are elected will they support such a resolution and work to get it passed. wondering in the 3rd Ward, tom taylor sheridan neighborhood ___ Minneapolis Issues Forum - A City-focused Civic Discussion - Mn E-Democracy Post messages to: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Subscribe, Unsubscribe, Digest, and more: http://e-democracy.org/mpls
Re: [mpls] the party vs. the people
WizardMarks writes: I'd venture to guess that members of any political party expect that their members will tow the party line or leave to find another party with a more congenial line for them to tow. Back in the early 1990s there were planks in the DFL platform that condemned the use of bovine growth hormone (rBGH) in dairy production. When rBGH was approved and many of us worked at the capitol and got the right for MN dairies to label their products a rBGH-free (one of only about 5 states that got that right) I learned a valuable lesson as far as a party member towing the bottom line of the DFL. A man who I had seen many times on Almanac representing the DFL party was at the capitol lobbying to get the bill killed. I was SHOCKED, in my naivete, that a public representative of a political party would work against the tenets of that party. I do not recall anyone asking him to find another party with a more congenial line to tow. I do not know if he is still a member of the DFL party but he is sometimes referred to these days as a DFL political consultant. tom taylor sheridan neighborhood [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: WM: Ms. Mensing, the party line for any political party is its basic tenets.

[Mpls] DEVELOPMENT AT 24TH AND CENTRAL
The following email was sent to me by 3rd Ward Council Aide, Becky Hunter. She has given me permission to send it on to this list. tom taylor Sheridan Neighborhood MEMO TO NEIGHBORHOODS REGARDING DEVELOPMENT AT 24TH AND CENTRAL We met yesterday with Loren Brueggeman from Sherman Associates, the proposed developers for the 2300 block of Central Avenue. Loren advised us that the development proposal will now be limited to the property currently owned by US Bank. Further, the proposal will no longer include a Cub Food store or any other large grocery store. We were advised that the proposal will include a mix of housing and retail and further that the developers remain committed to proceeding with the neighborhood process and are very interested in proceeding with a development of the US Bank site. You may recall that our guidelines for potential development were that the project respect the urban and pedestrian nature of the corridor, respond to neighborhood issues and concerns and finally that there would be no public subsidy for a large grocery store. Mr. Brueggeman advised us yesterday that due largely to the cost of acquisition that the development of the entire block for a retail/housing development with a Cub Food store is not financially feasible without public subsidy. As a result, he is moving forward with a different proposal in an effort to satisfy the guidelines for the development. The meetings previously scheduled for discussion of this development will proceed. The Holland Neighborhood Improvement Association will hold a meeting at Edison High School at 7 pm on January 9. The Northeast Community Development Association will hold two informational meetings about the development: January 13 at 7 pm at the senior high rise at 1815 Central Avenue and January 21 at 7 pm at the Salvation Army at 2727 Central Avenue. We hope to see you at one of these upcoming meetings.

About 4 years later this same bike, that was by this time registered and I think I HAD to register it before I could get it back, was pinched off my front porch. I called and reported the theft but I never did get it back. This bicycle was a Raleigh Tourist. This 28 inch wheel bike, with metal linkage to operate the brakes, is a proud throw back to when the UK ruled bicycle production. I am an avid collector of these bikes, and other older machines. I cringe when I think of sticking one of those licenses onto a frame. It cannot do much for the value of the bike.

Did you know that environmental stewardship is more than just about saving the environment, that it can save money too? The Sheridan Neighborhood Organization (SNO) will be holding a public meeting to learn about sustainable design and how we can apply it to our public buildings.

Minneapolis, to learn about sustainable design and its impact when used in developing our public spaces. Corey Brinkema, from e4 partners, will lead a discussion focusing on the Pierre Bottineau Library and the aspects of Green Architecture that are currently proposed. We will also explore additional features that can be incorporated in similar projects and what benefits they bring. Mr. Brinkema is cofounder of e4 partners and developer of the nation's first speculatively-built green industrial facility, the internationally recognized Phillips Eco-Enterprise Center (PEEC) in South Minneapolis. The PEEC (also known as the Green Institute) is a model for sustainable design; it uses 40% less energy than comparable buildings, truly values the health of its occupants and leaves a much smaller footprint on the environment. Mr. Brinkema brings experience in diverse sectors of the environmental and energy industries, both in the U.S. and internationally.

Re: [Mpls] Minnehaha Creek Watershed)
I seem to remember that the first stance I heard from the city regarding the flow to and from Coldwater was if it was disrupted the solution was to simply pipe in city water to keep it going.

Re: [Mpls] Stonewall'ed
Mpls-Issues tip: please delete as much of this message's text as possible if replying to the list. Thanks! --- Someone had posted earlier that in St. Paul the endorsement of the Stonewall caucus in did not depend on holding to the DFL endorsement process but in MPLS it is a criteria for endorsement. Is this true, and if so, does anyone know why this is?

Re: [Mpls] DFL Exclusion
Can anyone shed any light on this? Mr. Stafford? Tom Taylor Sheridan [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Not quite accurate. Someone who was not there alleged that Dean was not allowed to speak. We don't know the truth of that statement. WMarks, Central Jordan S. Kushner wrote: It seems that the discussion about the 6th Ward convention is missing what should be the big story. Besides the longstanding questions of the emphasis on caucus system because of the small number of participants, it appears that the 6th Ward convention has now raised questions about whether the process itself is even open or democratic. I have now heard from a few corroborating sources that even though Dean Zimmerperson was nominated by one or more delegates, the leadership refused to allow him to speak! So anyone who does not meet the DFL party hack purity test is not allowed to compete for the DFL endorsement? I will not rush to judgment since i was not there, but i am anxious to hear explanations.
