Members of Minneapolis Issues,
Some of you may remember me from some time back. I must admit that I did temporarily

Admittedly playing a little catch-up here...
I don't know if Phyllis Kahn's head should roll (she's not my rep and, as such, I

There is more to do than just build the building--though the building is way
important. It takes something like $100,000 a year more to run Hosmer than the
library has a budget to afford. As a new Sumner and Franklin library come into
being, it will take that much more for them too. The
Dave Dix has made a good point about Minneapolis' transition into
entertainment. A good book on this is "Fantsay City: Pleasure and Profit
in the Postmodern Metropolis" by John Hannigan. Available at some of the
college libraries, Mpls ("for use in the library") and Hennepin.

to be able to live with my HORSES in the City (I'd been able to in
It is my understanding that the county oversees the foster care program,
but it does have huge implications for many children in Minneapolis. There
are also foster care placements that are through agencies such as Lutheran

Why does building a new, presumeably more efficient, building, with
persumably state of the art technology, result in a higher operating costs.
This sounds like the conversation I had this summer with the library
director. She had no idea that technology could be used to reduce staff

a late fall and several trees on our boulevard STILL haven't dropped
their leaves. A few years back, if I remember correctly, street

Carsten called me today. Said he was working on a
