Karen: I personally would rather have my elected officials work on those issues that make my spot on the planet a better place to "live, work and play" rather than to monitoring email. I am not only Neva's friend, but her campaign manager. I will continue to be her spokesperson when asked. And in this case she asked that I do so. Neva does have this email monitored so she gets the pulse of what is going on in her district. Delegation is an important skill that elected officials have to learn. There are not enough hours in the day for them to get every task done that needs to be done. I know that Neva is greatful for those that will volunteer to give her information from lists such as Mpls Forum and are willing to send her opinions to the list.
