won't make a more feeble attempt to give my summary, but will just add
a few points not yet made.

found that site (amongst others).

Why can't I get any comments (more than one) on the dopeyness of the
feel-good proposal from the Mayor to spend $500,000 to stop terroristic
acts againest the city water supply?
Phyllis, from what you said, this might well be a poor use of resources.
However I would like to hear more detail
Fishing is great in Minneapolis. The best for northern pike and
small mouth bass is the Mississippi River. There is great small
mouth bass fishing even in the middle of downtown. Nicolett
Island and north of Hennepin Avenue are good places. For great
northern pike, small mouth, walleye and
I think that there are two fundamental issues that
have to be addressed with the discussion of the Park Board buying the Riverview
Supper Club.
First off, the park system has grown too large to
be supported. The way that this happens is that the Park Board has a
policy of "no net loss".
David Brauer asked, Does anyone know where I could find a list of
Minneapolis newspapers (everything from dailies to monthlies), or perhaps a
list of their online sites? A reader asked and I had to admit I didn't
know.
There is a very good list, including websites and contact
Thank you to Doug Grow for his article in today's StarTribune on the
resumption of Metropolitan Airports Commission meetings beyond the security
checkpoints at the airport (MAC seems safe from any attack):

Doug Grow and Paul Rohlfing are right on target on
this issue. Who could suggest with a straight face
that air-traffic safety in Minnesota would be
jeopardized by holding MAC meetings outside the
security zone? The putting a beautiful space to good
use argument doesn't hold water, either.
This is certainly down a few rungs on the importance ladder compared to the
facilities issue that has been discussed but I'd like an explanation of the
decision and how much the Park Board got paid to do this. A month from now

Bob Velez asked if there's a monetary link between the Metropolitan Council and the
Metropolitan Sports Facilities Commission.
Not a cent of the Metropolitan Council's levy goes to the Metropolitan Sports
Facilities Commission. The MSFC is self-sufficient, supported by fees charged to
teams
The question of where the MAC holds its meetings is a very old one. In my
early days as a citizen noise activist (1970) I wrote a letter to the MAC
asking why they did not hold their meetings at the MAC headquarters, 6040
28th Avenue South. My reasoning was that it would be easier for
