I agree. I think the original report by Stonewall was more informative....
because it clearly told which City Council members did NOT express an
interest in Stonewall DFL endorsement. I believe Joe Biernat was one....
As I recall in Ward 8, Bob Lilligren, Walt Gutzmer and Herron screened
(Herron got endorsed), and Sandra Miller expressed no interest in Stonewall
endorsement.
Is there any place on the web that has a listing of dates and places for
ward conventions? I'd assume that at least in some wards there would
actually be Republican ward conventions, and Green ward conventions. A
friend of mine who lives in the 3rd Ward (Biernat's ward) would like to
know the information about that convention.
