I find it interesting that KARE views it as balanced since they have the
regulator (Met Council) and one side (the builders) represented. On their
web site they have links to both. But they don't have links to the other
side--Alliance for Metro Stability or Sierra Club Northstar chapter. They
are really only presenting one side. They are even totally ignoring the
affordable housing groups like MICAH or the Minnesota Housing Partnership.
Go to their Web site and complain. Suggest how they can correct their
coverage--don't let them get away with it!
Actually, this is typical of how industry likes to depict these
issues--setting up the regulator as the other side and ignoring the real
other side. Way back when I worked for the state, I always pointed out
that there were the utilities on one side and the energy conservation
community/environmental community on the other. In fact, I really liked it
when the Friends of the Earth would get involved. I could then claim that
the Sierra Club/Nature Conservancy/Izack (Sp?) Walton League were the
moderate, middle position.
