I have not read "pulse" yet this week. I am looking forward to it. Why am I not surprised that Joe Biernat forwarded letters to the police? I've watched him in committee countless times and I find him the smarmiest person in city hall. I spent some time looking at campaign contributions to CM Biernat and though I can prove nothing I find it intersting that major contributors of his were 1)the very business interests who stood to lose the most if American Iron built the Kondirator, 2)owners of a taxicab firm and their lobbyists who subsequently were awarded 35 new licenses and let into the MPls market. Now I'm not necessarily saying Green and White should not have been licensed in the city but I do think it smells. The company vying at the time for the same licenses received a glowing recommendation from the airport licensing bureau but were effectively shut out. I read both their applications and though Green and White was the slickest I don't know that they were any better. It ought to be obvious i don't like joe Biernat. i could go on and on. Vis a vis, Jon Kellands post talking about how courageous it was for the members of the council to vote against closing the Hard Times, I would agree in the case of Paul Ostrow who, to my recollection, was the only member of PS&RS committee to vote against taking away the license of the Hard Times. i read Scoott McGerik's post. I don't think Joe Biernat is any more likely to resign than police chief olson. The only way to get rid of bad apples is to throw them out. I hope the people of the third ward do it. I think on my posting about McKinley Boston I failed to include my name and address. I sign my name to all the muck I dredge.
