Most revealing to me about the CNIA discussion is how easy
it is for people who were not elected as a part of our
official democratic hierarchy or hired as a city employee
under such a person can control a ton of money and there is
really no accountability. In other words, individuals who
are not elected representatives, but are part of non-profit
organizations (not city employees or elected officials) have
no real accountability in the NRP system. That certainly
seems to be a Minneapolis city-wide issue to me.

Subject: Re: [Mpls] 'missing' CNIA funds
I believe I stated this before. IF all 81 neighborhoods and
tahe 68 MCDA
approved neighborhood organizations all hung their laundry
out in from of
this list and in turn the world we would have no time to
discuss and look
at Minneapolis issues which by and large have addressed
citywide concerns,
visions, changes and issues facing the entire city.
I thought the CNIA-Chat e-list was setup so we could go in
and read the
details if we so choose. But personally, even though I am a
neighbor to
Central and I care that everything turns out to the best
benefit for the
neighborhood residents I've had it with these troubles and
woes.
I shuddre to think if the People of PHillips issues had
beenon this list -
it was bad enough being in the middle of it and I really
didn't want the
whole world to know our internal problems. Kind of like a
relationship or
marriage - what folks don't know goes on in the bedroom, all
the better.
Let's get back to Minneapolis complexities.
