Phylis,
Before you go and list a group of individuals who are "villains (or dupes)" because they fight unwinable fights that waste the tax payers money and get us nowhere - look at what you are doing. To waste all of our time to force elections (preceded by hearings, motions, maneuvering,
Without trying to beat a dead horse -
I would hope that this issue would die.
The facts:
Phyllis ( a DFL rep.) introduced this motion. Cosponsored by a DFL colleague (Len Biernat). Supported by many (DFL and Republicans alike) and geared towards having Minneapolis and other cities adhere to a
Good post Pamela!!
As always, in any such situation, when our city is faced with serious problems, there are those who whine and bitch about things. And there are those who get up off their computer chairs and do something to resolve the problems. Too often the whiners are herd more then the
Dear list members,
I have sat by very tight-lipped on the subject but we are crossing the line
of point full debate and reality.
As a voter in the ward I can appreciate Dyna's desire to allow the ward
voters decide for us the outcome of this race. However I feel that she fails
to understand
Hats off!!
Pamela Taylor is right!!
We as Minneapolites have to learn to be self sufficient. NRP was a hand out.
Without it we can just roll up our community pride, spirit, gumption and down
right grass roots involvement and just move away.
- or -
We can keep the roll up your sleeves
While I find the situation in the third ward to be one that is wrought with
political speculation and searing unsubstantiated insight, I do think it is
time we spoke directly to the issues that affect our ward/city.
First off - As For Joe, I feel for him and his family. To go through this
By no means wanting to be the only realist in this world, I hesitate to say
that there are only two situations where 100% applies.
I know that there are instances when we do not always have 100% sunny days.
But 5 out of 7 ain't bad.
If I can't get all of my home improvements done, I will
I agree that Wizard Marks has some very fine points as does Michael Lomker
and this lines initiator LYDIA HOWELL. However I wish to ask all list members
a question;
When do we take responsibility for our own lives and actions?
If I am going to get confrontational with a police officer I
Hat's off Keith!!
Hats of Barb!!
Folks, crime happens!
If our police force were fully staffed to take on the crimes that plaque our
streets, and I mean beat officers ON THE STREET, not in some desk job filling
out forms for the county, state and the cities own inner legal system
Well put Barb!
Although this is a Minneapolis based forum, Barb brings up the point that our
County, State and Judicial systems have to take an active role in helping
elevate our cities problem. If we cannot have the county help us in our
desire to seriously work towards prevention via
First I would like to say that Joe has not been proven guilty of anything yet. That
said………
I find Paul Ostrows concern for Joe’s ability to serve on the very board that is to
decide what happens to reform the very system that he is accused of abusing a bulls
eye! In many neighborhood
Alan,
I do not want to pretend to know the details of how the victim fell, but I want to
clarify that I believe the police acted accordingly and the fact that the victim was
shot twice by the police is simply a sad fact of the situation that could not be
avoided.
In the movie world “reality”
Ok. I can admit that my last post may have been – no it has been misinterpreted.
I grew up playing ball in the street, meeting my neighbors for a chat half way across
the street and just generally being a neighbor. This is not the sort of pedestrian
fair of which I was trying to point out.
To this I would like to ask if anyone else has seen an increase in the number of
pedestrians using the street. I hesitate to say that this is becoming a cultural
thing but I feel that some of the comments I have received when voicing my concerns
to someone using the streets have been atone
On the topic of moving a house; the costs are not very standard. Considerations need
to be made on when to move, which route allows for the least amount of utilities in
the way, what structures may need to be rebuilt after the move, what shape of lot is
necessary for the house, etc. Many
In the interest of fair play, I will take the route of the cage rattler on
this one.
First of all I do agree that big money investigations sometime bring petty
criminals to justice. But many times it is just such a break that brings
the flood gates to open. I am not saying that there IS wide
I would like to ask what would happen if a special election took place this
year and a new Councilperson were to be elected. Would they have to run again
next year and the again in 2005? Having run for office I can honestly say it
is not a cheap venture. Three elections within three years -
I for one would like to agree that an indictment is not a conviction. I have
been inundated with calls and emails about this all day.
We sometimes forget the consequences of our actions. I do not defend any
wrong doing. But I do feel bad for what his family will have to endure in the
future.
Vicki has a point. Diana has a point. The one point we are all missing is that the
question is not if a family can live in a 1 bedroom or not - the point missed is the
reality. Just look at the latest tragedy were a 2 month old died unatended although
the parents and 5 others lived in the 2
BRAVO!!!
Let's stop the overanalysis and get on with the business of running and improving the
city as a whole. We have much to do and many things to undo that the last council and
mayor had set in motion.

Bravo RT!!!
In this day and age when we still cannot accept the fact that our party is
not being widely accepted, we only perpetuate the perception that we are out
of touch and or not capable of adult behavior.
In short - quite yer' cryin and try and do something for the common good. You

I have to agree with Annie. We are a list of 800+ and as the saying goes,
you can't please everyone.. The Monte is a GREAT spot. (although not my
favorite) Considering the area, parking, and development in the near area, we
could even go out for a quick critique of the tax monies being spent
To all who would take heed -
The only way to fight terrorism is to not give in to their desire to scare
the public into shutting down! We need to continue on and stay the course. We
must set aside all bickering we may have amongst ourselves and band together.
We should trust in the fact that
Dyna,
I must apologize for granting you the credit of being a sensible person and
providing you with only short, broad retorts to your statements. Not to make
this sound to simple - I would like to put your fears to rest. So here are
some more specifics. Get your crayon out :-)
First off, I
Enough is enough! This is starting to sound like small children bickering!
Dyna wishes to make light of the serious problem we have when it comes to the
Mississippi River and the pollutants being dumped into it. I do not care if
it is one person, company or city policy that is being discussed
I can appreciate the idea that if one does not understand why the council
people do these crazy things, we will not be able to change things. I know
first hand the extent of such cynicism. As an active candidate I see it every
day. What can you do?, is a common statement.
I do not wish to
