Actually, it does concern me that Vickie worked so closely with Brian - How much did she know & why didn't she do anything about what she might have known; if she didn't know anything, why not?? I mean, there was bribery, extortion and illegal drug use going on and Vicky took those calls as aid. Louis replies: Its unfortunate that you have not sat down with Vickie to get to know her. After tomorrow, she will gladly meet with you to determine what it will take to get your support. David Piehl Adds: I know Vicky Brock a little through her work as council member aid, and consider her to be a very amicable person. That said, I also would appreciate Vickie addressing the issue. I understand that she may be avoiding the subject to distance herself from a controversy that in all liklihood is not of her making, but the perceived connection means it really must be addressed. Louis continues: Further, the last time I checked, people involved in illegal activity don't tend to broadcast their actions. David Piehl adds: Which is exactly why people would like to hear from Vickie - by not addressing the issuel, it allows the speculation to run rampant not unlike the way Gary Condit has suffered for staying silent for so long (although, of course, that situation is ENTIRELY different). Louis continues: (Involvement) is just another way of protecting the investment that I made over the last 12 years. Sorry to have insulted you by staying involved rather than disconnecting. How can I do better? David Piehl adds I have served on boards with Louis and have appreciated his involvement in various neighborhood groups and the SAOIC leadership in particular. Louis has earned my respect even though we may disagree at times; so don't take this the wrong way: Move back to the city from "the dreaded burbs" Eva Young wrote: Vickie Brock stated at the Youth Forum that she would definitely vote against Jackie Cherryhomes for Council President. I'd like to challenge Vickie Brock to say this directly in writing here on the Minneapolis Issues list. David Piehl writes: I have not been aware of this statement - if it's true, then it speaks to perceptions of Vickie as Jackie's "puppet" pretty clearly and should be more widely distributed - Best Regards **remember to vote** David Piehl Central/8th Ward ______________________________________________________________________ The information contained in this message is private and confidential information which may also be subject to the attorney-client privilege and work product doctrine.
