Thanks for the headsup on this. I got an email from the Sierra Club
regarding demonstrating at this speech. Personally, I would really like to
see Bush's AIDs adviser, Scott Evertz come to Minneapolis -- an ideal time
for that would be when the Republican Party is having their regional
conference in Minneapolis -- end of July.
Buck Humphrey:
Many have questioned where I got the story regarding Buck Humphrey:
Here is the link -- it was posted by Bill Dooley:
"Interesting blurb in the May 13, 2001 edition of the CHECKS AND BALANCES
online political newsletter. Under the title "You Make the Call," the story
basically blames Buck Humphrey for the Sharon Sayles Belton non-endorsement
because he did not work the delegates the week prior to the convention. Here
is the story:

--------------------------
EY: I'm still wondering who the sources were on this -- there seem to be
lots of folks within the DFL very irritated at Buck Humphrey. I think it a
stretch to blame Buck for SSB's poor performance at the convention.
Online Candidate Forums:
Any chance of some Minneapolis online Mayor and City Council forums? I'd
be glad to help with setting up an online eighth ward candidate forum. I'm
also interested in some in person forums. It would be good to get some
Brian Herron supporters to help with this also. Matthea, Wizard, David
Finke -- is your candidate -- Brian Herron ready for competition in a forum
such as this? Are any of you willing to help organize this forum -- or are
you afraid to have your candidate compete? Robert Lilligren already has
introduced himself to the list, and posts regularly -- which lets people
know where he stands. He's getting a reputation for being responsive to
people, and has a longstanding reputation for fairness and looking at all
sides of the issue. Council Member Herron appears to read this list, but
does not post. I'd like to invite Council Member Herron to post -- and let
us know more about his accomplishments as City Council Member for the last
8 years.
Quick responses, that answer the question -- as RT did, are a quick and
direct way of dispelling rumors.
