I took a look at the maps. Aside from thinking that Ward 7 should be
divided along Hennepin Avenue, with the Lakes area on one side and
Loring Park and Downtown on the other, the Approved Ward Plan of 4/18/02
appears to follow neighborhood boundaries. So what's the problem?

Shouldn't post on a Sunday morning after AN eclipse I guess.
But what I heard was indeed that Ken Avidor is planning to run for mayor--straight

Will Ken run as a DFLer, Independent, Green, Republican or . . .?
He certainly sounds like someone I could support.
Can he build a deep and broad enough coalition that includes the homeless
community, environmentalists, communities of color, the mental health
community, library activists, as

dealing with Gay citizens than St Paul's department, and the St Paul Police

So Ben, would you also agree that I, as a single person with no children,
should not have to pay anything at all toward supporting schools (either
public or private)?
If so, you better be prepared for a massive increase in the school taxes
that you 'breeders' pay, since now more than half the

Ben, judging from the age of your kids (high school and college age now),
I'd say the system has adjusted so your experience won't be easily repeated.
First, the current community
Just thought I'd add my two cents worth. I have one son left in the
Minneaplis school system. I am very unhappy with much of what is passing as
education here and if I had to do it over again, I would would make very
different choices. Since he is graduating this year we will ride it out.
I find the use of this very homosexual term insulting!
Does this mean the forum supports slang that is
insulting to others? If so I, having been raised in
the inner city can think of many to insult, eat the
rich comes to mind, but I thought us above that ,or
are we to accept it from some and not
Cute retraction Tim but I believe you as well as the
rest of us know what the term was used to imply. I
don't see the dictionary finding homosexual to be
derogetory either but polite society some how does not
use it but rather uses the term gay. So where do we go
