I don't dislike Kallenbach, I don't even know this person. I know more
about the other candidates in this race because several of these candidates
post on the Minneapolis Issues list. Part of the reason I appreciate
Robert Lilligren, 8th ward candidate, is he is accessible by email, and he
posts and interacts on this list. Lisa McDonald and RT Rybak both have
been long time list members and contributors, and I've appreciated that
also.
So I'd like to challenge Dean Kallenbach to join the Minneapolis Issues
forum, introduce himself to the list and mix it up on a number of the
issues posted here.

Obviously Barb Lickness has a record, and has been active in the Community.
I'd like to hear, from candidate Kallenbach, rather than his campaign
manager, who he is, his experience, why he is running for city council, and
what he hopes to accomplish.

When I got this, I encouraged Stafford to post this to the whole list, as
it did seem to be of general interest. I think it's odd that the
Kallenbach campaign only got invited a few days before the forum, when the
forum was announced on this list a week or two before the forum took place.

Perhaps Insight forum organizers on this list can shed some light on this,
and comment on Stafford's comment that the forum was poorly organized.
