I recall this a little differently. At the house party two neighbors were disputing the bylaws of their neighborhood organization and my comment was not about what I beleived but that there was some dispute among neighbors about the facts....community beliefs and understandings were different. More light and information shared with everyone would be helpful. Still, it would be helpful to have copies of the bylaws available. I contend that any resident of a neighborhood should be able to participate in that neighborhood's planning. A top priority and cornerstone of NRP is inclusion, not exclusion, every effort ought to be made to include all residents. Also at the Progressive Minnesota meeting I did not voice anything to gain anything.....I infact wasn't even sure what side the questioner supported....I voiced it because I believed it, and I still do. I am sorry if there was any confusion about the Progressive Minnesota meeting or about the House Party. I know Mike wasn't at either and I realize how difficult it can be to rely second hand information. Now, back to the doors.
