Hi Folks: Some folks got tired of the Motel Central Thread here on Minneapolis Issues. However for those of you still interested, feel free to check out cnia chat. The issue continues to be discussed there, and there are posts that add new information. This information disputes the information posted to the list from non-list member Basim Sabri. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/cnia-chat/messages/ I've summarized some of the messages on the Motel issue, and some of the other issues discussed on the CNIA chat list. More CNIA board members are joining cnia chat. In addition, the ward 8 candidates are all on this list. If you wish to join the list you can sign up by going to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/cnia-chat/ You can sign up email only, digest, or read the group on the web. You have to sign up to post to the group. You do not need to be signed up in order to read the messages on the group. Personally, I think all of us who have worked with mostly volunteer organizations can learn from our mistakes. Many of the communications problems with CNIA have been problems I've noticed in other volunteer political groups I've been involved with. The cast of characters changes, but often the stories are similar. Arguments over money tend to be the nastiest, and I've often found that in some ways a small group of folks without alot of money can do alot more than a group that has a bit of money. The reason: when you have that money, it gives you something to argue about.
