This may be a side issue, but what I think is truly bizarre
was Gary Schiff's announcement of his endorsement by
Jackie Cherryhomes in the 9th Ward City Council race. How
is that supposed to play on the south side?

As part of the statewide DFL Party, the Stonewall DFL is chartered
as a statewide DFL caucus. Our constitution mandates that at least
three of the board meetings per year be held in Greater Minnesota.
And traditionally, the board meets at State Central Committee
meetings. In fact, caucusing at State Conventions and State Central
Committee meetings predates the old DFL LGBTF Caucus' being chartered
as a DFL club. So the board is going to be there anywhere. There
are several issues on the agenda that Stonewall DFL needs to
weigh in on. Not just endorsements. But since we have to be there
anyway, we'll vote on the endorsements, etc. that were recommended to
the board from this past weekend.
