Checking back with the Stonewall DFL website www.stonewalldfl.org this
morning I discover that in Ward 6 there are now only two faces left in the
Politburo portrait - curious, considering that there were four (marked by *)
of the seven candidates
Shada Buyobe-Hammond*
Jim Graham
Dean Kallenbach*
Barb Lickness*
Tamir Nolley
Jonathan Palmer*
Dean Zimmermann
at the Whittier Neighbors candidate forum last evening who participated in
the Stonewall DFL screening event.
For the record, the 2001 Minneapolis Candidate Directory at
www.e-democracy.org, also lists
Brian Hanninen and Cam Gordon in Ward 2
Joe Biernat in Ward 3
Barb Johnson in Ward 4
Walt Gutzmer, Robert Lilligren, and Sandra Miller in Ward 8
Shirley Carlson and Dan Niziolek in Ward 10
John Casserly and Willie Bridges in Ward 11
Craig Larsen in Ward 12
none of whom are referenced on the Stonewall website report.
Consider the column headings on that Stonewall website report:
Candidate name - Expressed Interest in Endorsement - Returned
Questionnaire - Question & Answer Session - Received Acceptable Rating -
Candidate Endorsed
I know that Shada Buyobe-Hammond and Barb Lickness expressed interest in
endorsement, returned the questionnaire, and participated in the Q&A session
for Ward 6. I was there. I'm told Walt Gutzmer and Robert Lilligren screened
in Ward 8.
We are led to surmise that Joe Biernat, Barb Johnson, Jim Graham, Tamir
Nolley, Dean Zimmermann, Sandra Miller, Shirley Carlson, Dan Niziolek, John
Casserly, Willie Bridges, and Craig Larsen declined the opportunity to seek
Stonewall DFL endorsement
and by the absence of information in the Stonewall DFL website report, we
are led to the conclusion that Shada Buyobe-Hammond, Barb Lickness, Walt
Gutzmer and David Lilligren are also to be included in the list of
candidates who declined the opportunity to seek Stonewall DFL endorsement.
Well, this is still wrong, folks, and if these four - or more! - of the
absent faces expressed interest in endorsement, returned the questionnaire,
and/or participated in the Q&A session, one must wonder at the motive of
Stonewall DFL in concealing this information. Not a reputable situation, in
my opinion.
